Fat belly? No. Ovarian Cancer Belly (part 3) still going!

[TwitterQueen1]

This is the story of my ovarian cancer discovery and treatment from March 2017 to now. I hope it proves informative / interesting / thoughtful ... and most of all, perhaps make someone think 'actually I need to go the doctor about this and not just assume I've got a pelvic floor / weight problem'.

I am not having treatment - I was on an early phase trial with olaparib and cedirinab, which was going well but the doctors discovered brain mets in May, and after targeted radiotherapy there's not much else they can do.

I'm recently home after 3 weeks in hospital with pneumonia and sepsis so I cannot promise any exciting tales (except falling over). I moan a lot about steroid-induced diabetes.

Happy to hear any terrible (or good) jokes, rants, raves, anecdotes. I was/am a woolly hugger but can't do anything right now.

Here is part 1

Here is part 2

Ahhh, TQ, I'm glad you and your girls are being looked after.

I've been lurking on your thread from the start. Your support of other women has been amazing during this shit time. I'm thinking of you, and your lovely daughters.

Hi - wondering how things are, and hoping you are stable, comfortable and well drained.

Have you a date for your actual move?
