I may not know you but my best wishes are with you
This disease may make you feel down but dont let it, everyone else has said it best before me but
just grab it by the nuts and make it you call you "mama"
What type of cancer is it?
Wow I can't be grateful enough for all of the support. Srsly.
To answer questions: I've always had a lot of pain in my "lower" area, but when I started going to the doctor when I was 16 for it, they said since I hadn't had sex (yes, late bloomer), they weren't going to test for anything serious. Well the pain continued, and when I was 20 I went back to get tested (since I met the criteria then haha) and it turned out I had the beginning stages of Ovarian cancer. SO the surgery I had was to get rid of the cancerous cells in my ovaries, but it wasn't TOO big of a deal since it was pre-cancerous. The past couple of months the pain has gotten worse and worse, turns out it came back, is all over my ovaries, and spread to my cervix as well as my uterus. Right now it looks like they're going to have to hack at my ovaries again & remove my cervix... we'll find out in a couple weeks if I have to have a full hysterectomy. Scary thing is, it's already 4 months along (cause my doctor was a dipshit and didn't do the right tests) and they're trying to drag it out longer... Which for those who know people who have had cancer... dragging out = more spreading.
I just spent the whole morning getting blood tests and scans and x-rays and whatever else, and now I'm in pain, sore, and have a headache from it all. 
I'm lucky to have really cheery people all around me supporting me telling me we'll take it one day at a time. And I couldn't be more grateful for the bf at this moment, he's been so optimistic and fantastic.
My mood kinda varies from anger to shock to depression to ok to back again. It's little thoughts that pop up into my head at random thoughts that make me panic a little. I hate thinking of myself as "broken", so I refuse to do it. I'm a little afraid of the surgeries & chemo though.
And thank you everyone for your love & wishes... even though it's "just TA" it means a lot. Eric, fedex me your jacket, and Scott I have one thing to say to you. "I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh, and online poker ftw!
big love!
you post in the cor, you are invincible!
It's good to see you talk about it. Most people are too freaked out to do that. Just shows how much of a trooper you are. 
Wow I'm really sorry to hear this.. I've been watching my little brother go through chemo for the last year and its hard for me, and obviously for him too. The best advice I have is always have someone with you, it helps him and stay strong. You can beat it, people have gotten through worse .. wish you the best of luck and Im sending tons of support <3 good luck!

wow, sara, i didn't notice the thread until nou gave me a notice. but fuck, what can you say other than hope for the best girl. ye, all the love
I didn't say this earlier, but a little over a year ago I lost my grandfather to cancer. Terminal pancreatic cancer to be more specific. They gave him 6 months, and he passed less than 12hrs after my sister, her fiancee, and I arrived in Boise, Idaho. This was 6 weeks after diagnosis. It is still hard for me to think about. Was really close with him. So I feel your pain in a different way.
I don't spend a lot of time in here anymore but I can make an exception for this thread.
Sara, I know you have the resolve to deal with this and make it though and knowing your attitude, frankly, you aren't going to take shit from cancer. 
You know that if you ever need people to talk to or help cheer you up there are plenty of us here for you.
Best of luck with everything and you know where to find me.
sara try not to freak out over those four months, yes cells divide rapidly all the time, but you will not know yet if its a fast growing cancer or not. If it is they will use combination or target therapy to attack it, we have come a long way in treating cancer these days.
Have you thought about freezing some of your eggs before having some more surgery again, by what you said earlier its quite likely you will have to have a full hysterectomy from where the cells have infiltrated.
I am certain that you will be fine. Hopefully your doctors won't screw anything else up while they take care of things, or failing that at least make them use that insurance they're paying for anyway.
well, they all come in threes. In the last week that's now the 3rd person who i know or who is close to me who's diagnosed. friend of my auntie & uncle who i've known since I was a baby was diagnosed with it, and yesterday my brothers father-in-law to be terminal with only months at the most left. not a good time at all.
fluggles for you sara. I have nothing else that i can offer than what everyone else has done already. stay strong xx

My mom kicked boob cancer's ass, and I am sure you can kick this cancer's ass. It sucks and is tough, but you will get through it
and this is why I donate a lot of my check to cancer research

you have my best wishes sara as well as Australian GQ.
I hope everything works out. You have a strong personality and im sure it refects on your physical strength to endure as well .
Add me to the list of people that are coming out of the woodwork to post in this thread.
Sara, I was just on your myspace page about to post a comment about you selling your house. How strange that would have sounded congratulating you.
My heart goes out to you. I've been there myself, but my situation never advanced to what yours has so I can't begin to imagine what you're feeling. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
We had to bring someone to our pre-chemo session therapy class and didn't want to drag any of my friends because it's hard enough for them to think of their friend with cancer, so I emotionally brought you, Sarah You've been in my thoughts and prayers. We're some of the strongest people to have to be going through this. It's been 6 months for me, so if I can do it.... you can do it

Sara, I work with some excellent women cancer surgeons. I've done the procedure you're talking about 2343 times. Feel free to PM me with any questions. Don't let them cut you open, you can do the surgery via scopes/cameras.
Stay strong Sara! best wishes to you
