This reply is very very late, so I guess it’s mainly to say I hope that you kicked cancer’s ass and if not yet then very soon xx

Hey, it’s me again. Thank you for responding. I wish all of you the best of luck. Chemo sucked and hopefully I’ve now seen the last of it. I’ve had a couple months recovery, and on Wednesday (7th September) I’m having an operation where the surgeon will assess and remove everything suspicious that he finds. This will definitely be at least one ovary and some lymph nodes, I could possibly lose both. I’m feeling kinda scared at the moment, because although my Ca-125 count dropped completely to 6, down from 900 or so…I feel like the cancer might have come back a bit. I really hope not, because that would mean more chemo, and my degree course likely going out the window

I possibley have ovarian cancer. I am 21yrs old. I have 2 children, ages 3 and 4. I have been having pelvic pain, bowel changes, bladder changes, lower back pain, hip pain, and nausea. My doctor could feel a mass near my left ovary. My ca-125 came back at 150 and I had an ultrasound last week and I’m waiting for my doctor to return my call.

Thanks Juanita – for everything. Currently I`m having one of those “better” days where I have more of an appetite and have more energy than normal. While you`ve been on the chemo have you craved any particular kind of food? I crave really acidic stuff like tomatoes(& their by — products)and vinegar on top of my food. The only sweet thing now that I kinda like is soft – serve icecream. How long is your chemo? Mine is 3 cycles and I already finished one so basically my last chemo treatment is Labor Day weekend. At least I can lay down on my couch and watch the Little League World Series and the Regionals.

Oh, sweetie, your not alone My name is Juanita , I’m 17 and I was diagnosed on june 14th with stage 1C ovarian cancer dysgerminoma germ cell tumor.. At first I felt like my whole world was collapsing. Like being under tons and tons of bricks, and it was up to me if I was going to pick them up or not. I only have a quarter of my left ovary left, you are very lucky to have your full left ovary I started chemo on June 29th, 2011… Right now im receiving my chemo while im writing this..

Hi Ellie, my name is Molly Emerson and I `m 14 years old.I also have ovarian cancer. In June I broke my jaw and had to have surgery to fix it. The day of my jaw surgery a doctor and social worker came in and told me I was pregnant – but I wasn`t. My mom pushed for an ultrasound and that`s when the doctors found a tumor on my right ovary. Soon enough I had surgery to remove my right ovary and fallopian tube. I started chemo July 15th, 2011 and ever since I` ve felt like a worn out pair of sneakers and have had no real appetite. At first when I found out I cancer I was okay with it, but now I`m starting to think “Why is this happening to me – I don`t want to have to worry about this cancer coming back every year of the rest of my life. Please help me – I need support.
