Almost 4 years with no issues but tonight it's back.

[xmas74]

My ovarian cancer has returned.
I'm just a bit frustrated,tired of putting on a calm brave front for everyone else. I just needed to say it.

11. You're a survivor with another battle to fight and we're here for you so keep in touch ((🫶))

[Greybnk48]

12. That absolutely sucks. Especially making it four years cancer free. I'm a survivor

of uterine cancer and I know how you must feel. When you get back on treatment, I wish you all the luck in the world and I will be keeping you in my thoughts.
Take care and don't think you have to be calm or brave at all. Fuck cancer! Rage, cry, whatever helps you vent your fear and frustration, and then do your best to beat this!

[mr715]

13. You're strong

And we're here with you.

Let it all out.

[Figarosmom]

14. Why put on a brave front?

You've got to be pissed and scared. You should be able to vent those flings instead of denying them. Scream and stomp. Do what makes you feel better.

[xmas74]

33. My daughter is in her twenties

She already lost her father and saw me go through this once before. I need to keep it together for her.

[70sEraVet]

46. I had wondered the same thing as Figarosmom

I see now, and you are right. We owe that to our loved ones.
I wish you the best of luck in recovering.

[ShazamIam]

15. It is a silent sneaky monster, I send my support and wishes for you to beat it back again,

[JMCKUSICK]

16. I am so sorry for your bad news Xmas74.

I wish you the very best outcome. God Speed.

[LoisB]

17. I'm sorry to hear this. Beat it again for another four years, then another four, then another...

[Cha]

18. I'm So Sorry, xmas! 💔 ☮️🌻🕯️🕊️💜

I fervently Hope you can beat This like you did the last time.

[area51]

19. I'm sorry.

I hope treatment will send it into remission.

[democrank]

37. Sending strength to you

Don’t be afraid to reach out when you need support.

[DFW]

38. Ovarian cancer is one of the evil, silent ones

And you were getting so close to the « five year, outta here » mark. There’s nothing left to do but try, try again to beat it. Ten years ago, my wife was there, did that. It CAN be done, no matter how bad the initial news. I realize that it’s « easy for us to say, » but don’t give up and don’t lose hope.

[Celerity]

39. I so hope you quickly clear it and have robust health. Big hugz.

[ms liberty]

[OddMom20]

43. Sending strength (and patience) your way -

I can only imagine the frustration of not being able to “fix” this. I’m sorry you’re having to carry this weight and will be thinking of you!

[Fla Dem]

44. Disappointing news for you and your family. Hope it has not spread beyond the ovaries.

If you haven't already had a hysterectomy, I hope your doctor suggests you do.

Been there.

[xmas74]

67. I had a supracervical hysterectomy in April 2022

And omentum removal. This seems to b2 attached to the surgical incision.

[Fla Dem]

70. That devil seems to always find a way. Sending positive thoughts your way.

But.....more and more there does seem to be more winners. Pray you are one of them.

[yardwork]

45. I'm so sorry.

[a kennedy]

47. Damn xmas74, you do WHATEVER gets you through this!!!!

🙏🏻

[Maru Kitteh]

48. I'm so sorry. You should do this however you want to. It's not about anyone else.

It’s your body. It’s your life. Nobody else’s. You have my heartfelt thoughts and wishes.

[Mz Pip]

49. So sorry

It’s such a scary diagnosis. Take care. May you beat this for good

[mercuryblues]

50. I hear you.

Take care of yourself. More importantly, let others help.

[Playingmantis]

51. Yet another case of cancer!!

[brer cat]

52. I'm so sorry, xmas. My mother had ovarian, and I know

how devastating "it's back" can be. Holding you in my heart.

[Nanjeanne]

53. Surrounding you in light.

[generalbetrayus]

54. Love and virtual hugs from me to you, xmas 74.

Ovarian cancer took my dear sister Debby from us in 2013. I still miss her. And DON"T feel you have to put on a calm brave front for everyone else. You're sick and everyone else needs to deal with it, even your daughter!

[Trueblue Texan]

55. I am so, so sorry you are having to deal with this again.

Scream, cuss, tear your hair out if you need to. That part will pass and you will move forward with what needs to be done. I fear the same everyday. Whatever your way forward, I am sending my thoughts of healing and peace. Take care.

[barbtries]

56. I'm so sorry!

fuck cancer.

[Nevilledog]

57. We're here for you so please lean on your DU family.

Sending you love and healing vibes.

[popsdenver]

58. Something to give you heart to carry on Xmas

TEN YEARS AGO......, my wife was diagnosed with Stage Four, "END STAGE" GAME OVER CANCER........

The Medical community kept discovering a bunch of things, almost monthly, that have kept her not only living but functioning.....

Both of us realize the Medical Researchers can't keep what we call "Hail Mary's" coming forever, but so far we have had TEN YEARS more at this time.....Decent, functioning years........

Keep up your faith, don't throw in the towel just yet Xmas.....

( Side Note: Don't expect ANY kindness from the Incredibly, outrageously, extremely, Greedy Pharmaceutical Corporations)

[maliaSmith]

59. cancer return

I'm so sorry. I hope you win your cancer fight!

O T
I'm writing here to inform all women to ignore when a doctor tells an older woman she no longer has to have or needs to get a yearly PAP test. My doctor and my sister's doctor told each of us that we no longer needed to get PAP test since we were 65 + years old. My sister believed her doctor and stopped getting the test. 5 years later, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cervical cancer and lost her life. I on the other hand, forced my doctor to refer me to a OBGYN doctor and continue to get my yearly tests, and my insurance pays for it. I just want to inform other women to never stop getting that lifesaving PAP test along with your yearly Mammogram. These tests can save your life. I just wish my sister had continued to ger her PAP tests. I miss her dearly.

[Danmel]

60. I'm sorry that you are going through this

Keeping you in my prayers.

[mountain grammy]

61. Damn!! I am sorry to see this..

wishing you all the best.. I have read of progress in the last 4 years, hopefully it will benefit you..

sure wish we had elected Hillary in 2016.. I think the "Cancer Moonshot" would have been an all out assault on this dreaded disease.

[stage left]

62. Scream here all you need to.

It's a safe space.

[cally]

63. I am so sorry

Scary but hoping that a sense of calm and hope returns without faking it.

[spanone]

64. K&R

[Sparkly]

65. Many of us are with you.

Cancer sucks.

Please give yourself time, self-care, self-indulgence even, and spaces where you don't feel that calm, brave front is necessary.

[mvd]

66. Cancer is awful

I lost my dad to it at only 72. Every day I pray we cure that insidious disease. Sending healing vibes for you and you’ll beat this.

[Passages]

68. All best wishes for you and you're brave regardless.

[Dear_Prudence]

69. You be you.

I let my oncology team know that I was not ok, that I was screaming on the inside but no one could hear me. They arranged for additional support. Against the odds, I have survived round 2. I wish you well, xmas74.

[peacebuzzard]

71. I am sorry to hear this!...Best wishes for a quick treatment and recovery xmas.

it must be so hard on you, having to go through so much more than normal.
I wish you the speedy return to health, my friend...
