I’m new
I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at beginning of November 2017. I’m now 65 years and stage 3C. There was a huge gap after diagnosis and treatment waiting to see oncologist, then waiting for chemo program to start. I suffered with excessive asites and had to be tapped many times. Once chemo started I could feel my body returning to a more normal activity state. I’ve had three chemos and 13 fluid drainage taps. Cumulative total of fluid was 35 litres. The fluid has stopped generating. I’m now waiting for my fourth chemo and my surgery date of March 13.
I am happy to be a part of this discussion group. It helps to not feel alone. Any new information and support gives me strength.

Glad to hear that fluid is under control as it can be uncomfortable.

I was diagnosed just a month before you. I'm doing round 3 of 6 chemos on Tuesday. This board is a great resource. We are in it together
