Hi Courtney
I was just diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I had a hysterectomy and an ooferectoming. They took it all. I’m still dealing with my emotions. I’ve lost my hair from treatments. My colleague’s wife sent me all of her wigs. She’s a survivor. I’m scared. I’m single and don’t have a lot of support. Anything you can offer would be great
Much appreciated,
Connie

Hi everyone,
Let me draw you attention to this post-I think it could be helpful to one another to share your experiences.
What type(s) of treatment have you undergone for your ovarian cancer? Have you had any side effects? How are you doing now? Was treatment effective for you?

Did you experience any early warning signs of ovarian cancer before diagnosis?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well! I thought I would open this discussion for us to talk about and share experiences of ovarian cancer treatments.
As you know, treatment for ovarian cancer tends to vary, depending on the patient and the stage of the cancer, though treatment typically includes surgery, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy.
If you'd like to learn more, we have an article explaining the different treatment options here: Ovarian cancer: We explain the available treatments
What type(s) of treatment have you undergone for your ovarian cancer? Have you had any side effects? How are you doing now? Was treatment effective for you?
