Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Oh Aussie,
I missed your post yesterday. I'm really sorry that the results were grade 4 cancer. I do hope you feel that you can always come here for support. We are here for you.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Hi Aussie that is disappointing news. A friend has stage 4 bowel cancer and is doing well 12 months on from diagnosis , still working and living a full life despite being on chemo. Even though you have a different cancer now I am sure we will still be able to offer support so keep us posted.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Hi all
I got my pathology today and it's not good. I have stage 4 bowel cancer that went to my ovaries, not the other way around. I have lymph node involvement as well. I'll be starting chemo hopefully within a few weeks. It's a totally different cancer. 2 in 3 years?
I have been a bit upset and I know my sisters have been as well. It's hard to be positive at the moment but I'm sure I'll get there.
Thanks everyone.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
what a terrible time you've been through and somehow you still have to muster the strength to endure more. I really feel for you having to cope with the stoma - that would be very hard to accept but hold on tight to the fact that it is a temporary measure so there is an end to it.
Must be good to be home after all this trauma - you will need a lot of time to regain your strength and feel well again. Hope you have plenty of help to do that.
Good luck next Thursday and let us know how you go and what comes next. Sending you a huge hug.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Hi Aussie,
My goodness you've been through a lot since you last posted. Please no need to apologise for not posting sooner. I hope the results are as good as they can be. Lot's seem to get a stoma after bowel cancer. Good that it is a temporary measure. I visited a member years ago in hospital with a stoma. I hope you find it very manageable. I'm sure another member recently had a stoma for a time.
Please let us know how you go.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Hi all
Sorry that I haven't been on but I ended up in hospital on 26th August. I had to call an ambulance because I was in so much pain. I had surgery on the 27th, they took out my ovaries and part of my bowel. I now have a stoma bag for 6 months, not happy about that. I only got out of hospital yesterday.
I had to have blood transfusions and was hooked up to all sorts of machines, I wasn't allowed to eat for about 4 days then it was just liquids then finally had food.
I will see my Surgeon next Tuesday to get the pathology results and see when my chemo starts.
I've been feeling heaps better since coming home but still quite tired and sore.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Aussie, I just made it to my 5 year mark and was really ready to move on and get fit etc. It's nice to hear that your co-workers feel for you. Most of mine have been very good but a few have made my life intolerable at work and can't seem to see past what the extra work will mean for them. I am extremely disappointed and am taking the rest of the year off.

Re: Now I have Ovarian/Bowel Cancer
Hi all
Judy I didn't even get to my 5 year mark !!!
I told the staff at work today and a few cried which was hard. Some weren't their when I had my BC so I think it's a shock for them.
As far as I know Judy I'll have surgery then Chemo.
Judy, Janette and Rosa thanks for your support.
