Hello, I recently found this site and looking forward to hearing and sharing about our unique journeys. I was diagnosed in October 2016 with High Grade Serous stage 3A ovarian cancer. I had all the front line treatment and had 3 cycles of chemo before surgery and then 18 weekly chemo. CT scan showed ned for cancer. Went back to work but 10 months later I recurred with blocked bowels and had 6 cycles of chemo and again CT showed ned. Went back to work and 6 months later it recurred July 1 2019. In September finished 5 cycles of chemo but had to stop as my body was weak and my platelets and haemoglobin were very low. I feel very tired and lack energy, my bones hurt and hope for a long break from chemo. Wish you all good health and stay positive.
