I totally understand being petrified and having to wait for answers. I first found out in feb that I had OC and the next 2 months were the most gut wrenching, scary, and stressful of my life trying to navigate the system, tests, referrals, appt, biopsies etc. I had a tremendous amount of ascites and no one was dealing with that, and I felt like I was going to die if someone didn't help me soon. But once I got into see the gyne oncologist things moved so much smoother and faster. I found at this stage I just kept telling myself 5 more day, 2 more day etc. to get to the next step.
you are an amazing cancer warrior you have already proven that. This group of warriors here have been a tremendous support along my journey so ask away, vent when you need to everyone is here for you along this journey and we all bring different perspectives, knowledge, and have travelled many paths along the way.💪🩵🙏🏻

Hi everyone. First post here for me. I had breast cancer 13 years ago and was not prepared to learn two weeks ago that I have a large mass on my right ovary with peritoneal and sigmoid spread. Still haven't met with a gynaecology/oncologist, that's the 23rd.
Kinda hard not to be petrified.
Family/friends all saying "you'll beat this thing" but not sure how realistic that is. 😥
