My Ovarian Cancer Story: "The Symptoms I Overlooked!" | The Patient Story

[@talk3194]

A tumor that grows teeth and hair is called a teratoma. My sister-in-law found out she had ovarian cancer when she was pregnant with her first child. As her baby grew so did the teratoma due to hormones and eventually there was no more room for both. She delivered at 29 weeks, and two days later she started chemotherapy. Thank God for big extended families - We all took turns caring for her and the baby 24/7 for the first year. My sister-in-law and my nephew are 100% happy and healthy 25 years later!

I was diagnosed with stage 3C Ovarian Cancer back in April 2017, I was 3 weeks short from my 45th birthday. I had the chemo, full hysterectomy, and debulking surgery, the avastian afterwards. I was told I had 6 months to live, I remember being so poorly. The symptom awareness is terrible, here in the UK anyway. I did really well on all the chemo drug's. The beginning of this year (Jan 2024) I went for CT scan so I could officially complete the 5yr remission. It now turns out I have one 3.5cm and 3 smaller cysts now found on my pancreas 😢 I'm waiting for more investigations to be done, but we know our own bodies. I'm scared, but I've fought once, I can do this again ❤ btw I rocked a bald head, showers were so much quicker lol! But shout out to all my Teal Ribbon sisters. We are truly built of strong sh*t. Much love to anyone waiting on results, going through treatment, post and in remission and to those dear angels that have passed from the awful disease 🙏🤧💚

Hey girls, thanks for checking in with me. I was diagnosed on 4/4/17, and the beginning of this year, I had a CT scan and CA125 (8!!!) but as I said above about the 4 small cysts on my pancreas. So on Friday (exactly 7yrs and 1 day after ovarian cancer diagnosis) I went into the hospital for an endoscopy and biopsy (not a nice procedure) anyway, when he took the biopsy the cyst popped and he said it was watery and clear (snotty consistent, is not good) so he's very certain that it's not cancerous 🥳👏 but that's been sent off for more investigation. So, all good news yayyy!! I see my (oncology) gynaecologist on 1st May and we will see what and where we go from there. I'm not gonna lie, I was terrified that it was back, the timing from the first diagnosis until the biopsy this year is just bad luck. But for today, I've been given another reprieve 🙏 thank you to all that sent prayers 🫶🫶❤️❤️

My beautiful mum was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer on 21st Dec 2014 and died on 21st June 2015. They said 6 months and she had 6 months to the day. Her only symptoms were some backache and a couple of weeks of what seemed like the flu. Then bam! Stopped being able to go to the loo and she was in agony. Like all of a sudden. I was 6 months pregnant. We’d been shopping for strollers 2 weeks before. It was like a bomb went off in our lives. I miss her so much. So much. A year later Dad took his life. It was just too hard without her.

Ive had 3 cycles of chemo and am now on maintenance PARP treatment. Its not permanent but will keep me going until the cancer returns or I develope other problems. I had no idea I was so sick.

I said I hope I don’t have cancer she said well if you do all they will do is cut you open and sew you back up! Went to Ultrasound the Tech said you need a CT Scan like today! Wow I got up early went to Emergency. Got a CT Scan doctor on duty said you have Ovarian Cancer. He told my primary she got me an appointment with a Gynecological Oncologist. I was shown the Tumor on my test results. I was numb in shock. He wanted a Debulk we set it up. Then a Cyber Attack they cancelled I had to reschedule. Clock was ticking. Went in 9 hour debulk surgery three blood transfusions. Your right ouch. Was awful everything out cervix fallopian tubes appendix ovaries part of my colon and intestines. Left with a ileostomy bag. Life had changed 87 pounds a bag and a urine bag strapped to my leg. Then later a Port put in and like you same chemotherapy drugs . Blood test port cleaning constant appointments. Hair didn’t fall out until after chemo was finished. Now have neuropathy in my feet snd wore cold booties snd gloves during chemo oh well maybe be worse if I hadn’t. Nine months later ileostomy take down bag gone. Now constant bowel issues. Hospitalized for a blockage wanted to die. Its been hell and it does change you. Always concerned don’t want a reoccurrence. Like walking on eggshells. I had Stage 3C due to so many delays cancer was spreading fast. They were pulling it off my bladder. I am very lucky can always be worse.

[@pallavisreetambraparni6995]

@@sddrunner pap smear and mamogram can't detect ovarian cancer. It's a tough disease to diagnose in early stages. That's why it's called the " silent killer" The only way is if one starts having symptoms like bloating, early satiety, frequent urination etc.. The only two possibly reliable tests for ovarian cancer are pelvic ultra sound where ovarian cysts can be be detected. Most ovarian cysts are harmless and go away on their own but if one starts having pain in that area of the abdomen then they would probably need to have another pelvic or even transvaginal ultrasound and a blood test marker called " CA125" to confirm the diagnosis

When I left my home I knew I would have surgery and back home in 2 weeks. They sent me down south to university of Seattle. I said this healing prayers from my faith. Thy name is my healing, O My God, and remembrance of the is my Remedy. The doctor said it was a miracle. They did a debulking, took out some lymph nodes and the cancer didn’t spread outside the tumor. When they brought me to my room, on the nightstand was a beautiful bottle of lotion and across the top it said Remedy. I belong to the Baha’i Faith. Their prayers are amazing. That was in 2011.

Before you even said it, I was gonna type never let anyone but a gyn oncologist do complicated surgeries whether they are cancerous or not.

[@pchaynes]

The day before Thanksgiving this year I had a complete robotic hysterectomy by a gyn onc. I went home within a few hours to recover. I cannot say enough good things about this provider. My story ends well, I am one of the truly lucky ones, all the pathology came back as no evidence of malignancy and I will be discharged from his care in a few weeks.😮

Thank you for sharing. Ovarian Cancer is not well understood like other cancers. Lost a sister who was 46, like you, with a large lump on her ovary. I pray that there will be a test like the cervical pap to help with early diagnosis.

[@amethystfeathers7324]

I'm getting a scan for this soon. My Doctor feels that I'm fine but he calls Ovarian cancer the silent killer of women and prefers to rule it out early unlike most Doctors. I'm very lucky. I'm so sorry to hear about your Sister, my Twin is currently battling the after effects of throat cancer 🥰

My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer back around 1985-86. She wasn't feeling right for several months before that and she had gone to primary care provider two or three times before she got the ovarian cancer diagnosis. Doctor did pap text and it of course came back negative. Doctor couldn't feel anything in her pelvis so nothing was done until a piece of tumor fell out of her vagina. She had extreme tiredness and unusual pelvic pain before she was diagnosed. Unfortunately, they didn't have ultrasound or other diagnostic abilities they have now. I'm sure they would have gotten her an ultrasound scan and CA-125 test immediately when she first complained of tiredness and pain if she had been going now. Chemotherapy gave her another good year of life but it did not rid her of the cancer on her intestines so when they had to stop the chemo it came back. You know your body. If you have unusual tiredness or peivic pain tell primary doctor or ob/gyn to schedule you for an ultrasound immediately.

I lost 2 friends to ovarian cancer (10 years apart). Both never used birth control or other hormonal therapies therefore never considering cancer of the ovaries. Both were convinced they had irritable bowel syndrome due to stress but had very healthy lifestyles. Both were at stage 4 - one died after an operation and 1 year of treatment and chemo and the other one died of heart failure before her treatment could start (from South Africa). I use HRT and go to my gynecologist every year for a full check-up. All women should go for annual check ups - with or without the use of hormones

Almost all if OC cases are terminal as it's being found too late in majority of cases. This type of cancer is very very difficult to be detected when it's still treatable + there are NO symptoms at this stage and nothing can be seen on ultra sound. This is something I'm really really terrified of as no matter what the others say it IS a death sentence. Plain and simple.

i was bleeding more than usual and constipated. Noticed i was getting a belly. I had a cyst 20 years prior and had it removed. Spoke to my my female primary care physician about my symptoms and she told me im just getting older and hitting menopause. On vacation, i was trying to get a nice photo on the beach and couldnt for the life of me hold my stomach in. It was pouching. On return from vacation, laying flat on my bed, i saw a mass finally pushing up. It was growing fast and kind of moved around. Went to the doc and had the ultrasounds and had both ovaries removed along with the cyst(s) one with cancer on it. It was the size of a baby and I am a thin woman. Giant scar from the surg and internal scar tissue Issues after. ER visits and hospital stays. another surg to clear out internal scar tissue. No other treatment otherwise. If only my pcp would have recommended an ultrasound when i first went to her. ive been thru a lot because of her not recomending. Thankful I am alive but it changes you. I get anxiety when i am not taking care of myself or eating healthy. "Chris Beat Cancer" gave me information on how to help myself. God gave me peace and strength. After surg, my oncologist told me that God was looking after me. Noone seemed to think I would make it, but me, "Chris Beat Cancer" and God 🙏🙏🙏

[@rosedecaro]

100% yes!!! We need ovary detection tests! Amazing story! What a trooper this woman is. 🙏🏼🙏🏼✨💗🙏🏼 I am diagnosed with the RAD51D mutation gene. I’m on waiting list for removal of my ovaries and the remainder of my fallopian tubes to be removed as a prevention to Ovarian cancer. The RAD51D is also linked to breast cancer and now “maybe” also to pancreatic cancer as well. I inherited this gene from both my mom & my dad so I was born with it. I am high risk for this gene bc I’m age 65 so I’m awaiting my preventive surgery at Women’s College Hospital. My hospitalized stay in 2021 was my silver lining to finding this RAD51D mutation gene bc I signed up for Mount Sinai Gencov blood study to help with covid research and with that came Genetic testing which I didn’t know. Thank god genetic testing was a part of my Gencov study!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💕✨

Why do doctors miss tumors??? This is scary. You go to the doctor and are told there's nothing wrong only to find out your cancer has spread 😡two weeks later.

[@dactimis3625]

My father was a strong man and after he had surgery for colon-rectal cancer, he died after a lot of suffering in about three months. The doctor thought I had the same cancer and wanted to operate on me. As I had already studied a lot about cancer, I refused the operation. The doctor told me that I will be back in six months. But 14 years of a very active life have passed. If you want to beat the cancer: 1. Chemotherapy means that you destroy not only your cancer cells, but also many healthy cells, which you need. A very bad thing is that it may destroy your immune system, the one that tells the body when you have cancer and that knows how to fight cancer. 2. Radiotherapy is well known to cause cancer. The underlying idea is that cancer cells will die. it's true, it destroys them. But it can also turn healthy cells into new cancer cells. There is some hope if you follow radiation therapy with doses of radiation very precise targeted at the cancer. 3. Surgery is a solution, but it often spreads the cancer to other parts and thus creates new cancers. What can you do: 1. Prayer to God. Yes, God really exists. And He asks us to love Him, people and do good deeds. 2. To search very persistently for our sins and mistakes. Apart from God, we all have sins. Don't look for excuses, they only have value if God considers that you deserve to be forgiven. Don’t hide yourself behind excuses like “I didn’t anything to do” or “Others did too”. I searched for my sins and mistakes for several months. 3. Stop eating meat and sweets. It is easier that you think! 4. Daily, up to half a liter of beetroot juice. 5. Seeds of all kinds. 6. Cancer is not a tragedy. Fight calmly. Moderate action. 7. It would be very good if you have the strength to follow the treatment of Rudolf Breuss. Sure you can. The treatment of Rudolf Breuss is based on a very strict fast. In my opinion, it's exactly what cancer can't stand. Think of a mother. Isn't she able to stay hungry just to give food to her child? Of course yes. But a pregnant woman is something else. She must give the fetus a lot of food because he needs it to grow quickly. She doesn't hold back, she wants a lot of food. If she does not eat, the child is in danger. It's the same with cancer. A normal cell can be satisfied with a little food, but a cancerous cell, which multiplies without stopping, needs a lot of food. If you don't let it eat, it is in danger of death. A normal cell can fast without problems, but a cancerous one is in danger of death. You probably know that if someone who has cancer stops eating, this is considered a sign that they will die soon. But let's think deeper. Cancer knows how to trick the immune system, which does not take measures against it even though it could. But at some point, the situation becomes so bad that the immune system understands that the organism has cancer. And what does he do? Closes the recipient with food to destroy the aggressor. But it's usually too late. What would it be like for man to close the faucet in time and stop feeding cancer? In my opinion, the treatment of Rudolf Breuss is a very good option. Help her, please God, to be realy healthy!

So I’m sorry but I will also be on an auto immune drug for a year after I finish my 6 rounds of chemo and I have to have radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks and we will reevaluate things from there my oncologist and my lung surgeon said!!!!!!!!!!! So I am praying that all that comes back clear!!!!!!! My sister in law had stage 3 breast cancer 27 years ago and she has been cancer free for all that time so she be at it!!!!! Thank goodness for her, my brother and their 4 kids!!!! She was very stubborn and never went to the Dr for anything!!!!!!!!!!!!! She was never sick absolutely NOTHING!!!!!!! She went for her yearly mammograms and it was clear!!!!!! It was Halloeeen and she was taking a shower and she was rubbing under her left arm and said ouch!!!!!!!!!! She felt where it was tender the most and called her Dr the n Dr morning and hey told her to come In and sure enough it was breast cancer and they were all devastated!!!!!!!!!!!
