@gaylekse Thank you for posting here. Your diagnosis of ovarian cancer must have come as a shock and you did not expect to be writing here about it. I am tagging a few of our members who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer @jenelleseaman @cipnsue @amywells @corday7578

I can understand your concern about chemotherapy side effects and how these may affect your quality of life. It's so important to have the support of your husband, family, and friends. Has your cancer care team discussed this with you so you have some ideas about what to expect?

It certainly was quite a shock! No family history, perfect health my whole life, genetic testing negative. I have a great support system & my oncology team is outstanding! I’ve been off treatment since Jan & my scan in May was clear. My oncologist cleared me to get things done while off treatment. Have cataract surgery next week, hip replacement in Sept & currently dealing with my 1st bout of diverticulosis. Yikes, it’s always something. Keeping the faith!!!
