The story of my ovarian cancer discovery is here

This is such an important health issue - there's a reason why OC is called the 'silent killer'. I really want more women to be aware of what few symptoms there are (I wasn't).

This is my story. I hope it's a long one.

Yay!! TQ so good to hear this from you. Hope they've moved you somewhere more peaceful so you can rest properly. Lots of love. Px

larrygrylls · 30/06/2019 20:04

Pleased to hear it. Read many of your threads but not posted to date.

Your stoic realism reminds me a lot of my late mother. I think that how you fare in adversity says a lot about your character and your cheerful eloquence suggests you have oodles of resilience.

I hope to read your posts for quite some time to come!

Turningupsidedown · 30/06/2019 20:11

So very glad to hear the drugs are starting to work for you. I hope things have also quietened down and you are getting more peace and quiet. Sending you lots of love, I will be thinking of you Flowers

Thanks for the update.

I'm sending stern thoughts to your haemoglobin: carry that oxygen around so that TQ can go somewhere that isn't full of drunk people. Glitterball

TwitterQueen1 · 01/07/2019 18:21

very angry with nurse who deliberately misled me on sleepIng tablets and then gave me 1 diazepam. To cou nteract 12 steroids

JazzersMaw · 01/07/2019 18:28

TQ, I’m just really glad to see you well enough to get very angry. Smile

I can’t think of a solution to the problem except to wait for a shift change and discuss with the nurse in charge. Or present it as a new problem and ask what might counteract the steroids so you can get some sleep, and see if someone else offers something different. Take care, you lovely woman.

GhengisCalm · 01/07/2019 21:08

Take care and kiss arse Thanks

Sofasurfingsally · 01/07/2019 22:58

Ask for more. They often do give more medication if you hassle them.

Also glad to see you are sounding better.

Shelovesmilktray · 01/07/2019 23:54

De-lurking,TQ ( Ma L in disguise). Thinking of you Flowers . Hope you’re managing to sleep xx

Brassica · 02/07/2019 10:56

Keep on trucking TQ! I hope you managed to get some kip last night, goodness knows it’s hard enough in hospital when they do obs every 20 minutes without steroids as well. You sound on good form x
