Newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer (OC) ~ looking for support

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
I was first diagnosed with High Grade Serous Ovarian Cancer Stage 3c in August 2010. I had radical surgery and then paclitaxol and carboplatin. That was hard, and a very steep learning curve followed.
I have had chemotherapy another 8 times since then, the last treatment was in April. I’m currently in remission yet again, but I am assuming that the cancer will be back in September when I am having the next scan, unless God provides another miracle.
God has always been good to me. The longer I live, the more blessings I receive from Him. What I pray for more than anything is for courage to face what is to come, with joy. I have been diagnosed recently with sarcoidosis, which is a benign inflammation of lymph nodes. It’s the first time in 15 years that I have been told it’s not cancer! You have to have a sense of humour!

I too have high grade serous carcinoma of the endometrium and ovaries. I had the total hysterectomy, carboplatin, taxol and Herceptin for immunotherapy. Everything happened 3/2022. I’m still in remission.
What you said about praying for Joy! That what was so important to me also! I prayed to get my peace and joy back. There’s nothing I can do about having cancer, I’m doing everything I know to do already….but if I can just have acceptance for what’s to come, with my peace and joy, that’s what’s important to me. I’ve had that since praying for it. It has made all the difference during times of anxiety and for me enjoying my life since getting cancer.
