ovarian cancer questions
By Cheryl from Luna Pier Michigan on September 01, 2005 in Support Groups
Hi, I was recently told I have cancer. I had a surgery done August 11,2005 for an emergency surgery, they have found a cyst on my left ovary the size of a small football. They also , took my appendix out which had a tumor on it . They don't know if it started with the ovaries or, if it started with my appendix. So, as of September 6,2005 I will be having another surgery to have a hysterectomy and they will also be taking about a foot of my intestine out. Also, they will be looking at my liver, and where ever else.
My question to you is , what are my chances of dying is ? Also, two weeks after my surgery , they will be starting chemotherapy. They say everybody is different, and have different reactions. I want to know what is the percentage of me losing my hair, and for me being really sick to my stomache?
I'm raising two son's on my own. I need to know , How bad I'm going to feel? My son's are 12 years old and 4 years old.
Please , help me with these questions!
Thankyou ,
Cheryl |
