Obese but with pretty normal legs / arms etc but very fat, enormous belly ***Ovarian cancer diagnosis - title edited by MNHQ at OP's request***

Hi
I'd be glad of any advice or personal experiences here. I am around 4 stone overweight, so definitely obese. Most of it is on my stomach though, which now looks like I'm 11 months pregnant with triplets. I'm in my 50s so this is not a possibility. It's very painful and I am short of breath when I walk etc.

I've put on a lot of weight in a short period - 10lbs in 2 months.

Six months ago I was bodyboarding in the sea, walking every day and doing an exercise class every week. Now it's a struggle to do anything.

I'm having bloods done on Friday but any ideas / comments? Am I just unlucky to pile it all on in one place?

Hope you've had a good weekend tq.
Just a good wish for the 19 th.
Will be thinking of you

Just read through your thread from start to finish. Hope you're holding up okay and enjoying the Easter weekend. Not long until the 19th

TwitterQ hope you're doing ok and best wishes for Wednesday. Loved the hedgehog image btw

Good luck for tomorrow TQ Hope everyone's nice in the treatment unit and you have something good to read/listen to.
I'm starting the 'S-Town' podcast tonight which apparently is amazing and was downloaded 10 million times in the few days after it was released.

Good luck for tomorrow TQ.

Just rest the entire FT.

Good luck tomorrow TwitterQueen. This is where you start to fuck that bastard cancer in the ass.

Oh what a nice turn of phrase I have.

Good luck for tomorrow TQ , will be thinking of you .

yoo ahhhh woolly thinking ! Had that for a good while after i finished chemo , no concentration to read a book . Finish a chapter and . . . .no idea what I'd read

Thinking of you TQ, hope tomorrow goes ok for you. One step forward .

I hope things go as well as they can tomorrow.

Delurking to say good luck for your treatment

I've read your thread too TQ. Thinking of you tonight and I hope your first day of treatment goes smoothly. Xxx

Will be thinking of you today

Thinking of you TQ - hope things run smoothly.

Thinking of you today OP

Hello everyone. 1st chemo done - yay! Waiting for pharmacy to bring meds over now, then I can go home. Trouble is, that may be hours.... And I can't ask BIL to wait indefinitely.

All good so far. Very early days of course. No idea how I will feel tomorrow etc. But at least I have begun treatment. That's the main thing.

Hi TQ was thinking about you yesterday but couldn't find the thread. GlaD you have got started and are feeling positive. Best wishes for the rest of your treatment.

I'll bet you are pleased to get the first hurdle over with, TQ.

You are a mumsnetter.

Hi Twitterqueen. I wanted to delurk to say good luck with the chemo. A close family member was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in the early days of Avastin (2005). He had several inoperable tumours in his liver and a pretty poor prognosis. I am happy to say that over 12 years later he is completely healthy and enjoying life with his family (his children were very young at the time of diagnosis). To us, as his family, it is nothing short of a miracle drug and I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.

Well done TQ, so pleased the treatment is underway, and I do so hope the wait is not too long.

Thanks all! I am rather out of it, I must say..... drunk but without the alcohol if that makes sense (though I have just had the most deliciously cold bottle of Stella.

I am repeating myself, going round in circles mentally and basically, haven't got a clue! The DDs have washed my bed-sheets, the lovely cleaner came today, DD2 is cooking lasagne.

And I've had lots and lots of lovely supportive messages, texts and of course, posts here! So I''m feeling pretty good tbh. Long may it last.

I love you all (hic) ... maybe I should have some real wine?

Your DDs are also s.

They must get it from their mum.

Sincere thank you Hmm

Glad to hear it's started well, hope you get plenty of rest.

Glad you're on the road with the first treatment done. Lasagne sounds good
