Looking for encouragement

Hi! My name is Rebekah and I am a 33 year old wife and mom to 2 boys (8 months and 2 years old). I have been diagnosed with stage 3 grade 3 ovarian endometrioid cancer. I am okay throughout the day, but I really struggle in the mornings. I have already had my debulking surgery and am going for my 2nd chemo next week. I look at my husband and kids and cry because I am so blessed but have a fear of leaving them behind. On a good note, my CA 125 before surgery was 154 but after surgery and only 1 chemo, it is now at 13. My doctor will not give a prognosis because he said everyone is different. He said my future is unknown, but he’s had patients beat this with no recurrences or 1 recurrence and it never comes back. I know I am higher risk being stage 3, but looking for advice and really just want to talk to people.

Thank you so much for reading

Change in diagnosis again.

Hi friends, a month ago I was diagnosed with stage 3C neuroendocrine ovarian cancer. Well comes two weeks later, the tumor board decided that it was ovarian carcinoma with neuroendocrine features which is…better. Then my oncologist sent my tumor to Cleveland Clinic and they are saying it’s not Neuroendocrine at all, it’s instead a Dedifferentiated ovarian endometroid cancer. Has this happened to anyone? Has anyone survived this? I am 33 with 2 small boys.

Rare Neuroendocrine cancer

Hi all.

I’m a 33 year old wife and mother of 2 small boys. I have just been diagnosed with a rare NET and start chemo soon. My doctor said that once I finish chemo, if the cancer comes back within 2 years, that I won’t have any options and my prognosis is very poor. Has anyone had this cancer and beat it? I’m so heartbroken for my family and seeking support. Thank you so much.

Diagnosed with stage 3C OC at age 33

Hi all.

Honestly I’m just looking to vent and to hear other people’s experiences. I’m a 33 year old mom of 2 small boys (2 years and 6 months). I recently had a c section November of 2025. I realized in the past few weeks I’d felt fatigued/run down but didn’t think too much of it. Last Thursday, I randomly developed chills and a fever but my kids were just sick so I thought I caught something from them. I went to work the next day because weird enough I woke up feeling fine. Then that Friday night, chills again with fever and lower right abdominal pain. I ended up going to the ER that Saturday morning with my husband while my mom watched the kids. They did a CT and found a 10cm mass in my pelvis. The gyn onc on call set me up for surgery Monday and after surgery he stated I would need a pet scan and chemo. He diagnosed me as stage 3 because of lymph node involvement. We are still waiting on pathology but he says he is sure it is a germ cell tumor dysgerminoma which he said is highly treatable. I am just so scared and sad. I don’t know if I fear the PET scan more or the pathology results pending. I have such young kids and no family history of cancer whatsoever. I can’t stop crying and just need a hug. Has anyone experienced something like this and was okay? I’m prepared to lose my hair, don’t care about that. But I am so sad that this is happening. Any support or advice is so truly appreciated ❤️
