Looking for snarky support groups
I can’t do sunshine and puppies for the most part. I have an incredibly dark sense of humor and just can’t deal with people blowing sunshine up different anatomical parts. I’m looking because I cried all day Tuesday and am still leaking at the oddest times.
Uhhh….don’t know all the abbreviations y’all use but I had a “giant” ovarian cyst discovered during an ER visit for what I was positive was appendicitis. Although after skimming through this community 16cm x 15cm seems fairly average? All the medical people here (surgeon and chemo offices) seem taken aback by the size. Okay this is my attempt - High grade, stage 1, clear cell carcinoma of the left ovary. Surgery was complete hysterectomy including my cervix. Also took my appendix, omentum, and some lymph nodes just for shits and giggles. The cancer was completely contained within the ovary’s tumor (which makes sense in a way because all testing and imaging said it was benign). They still decided that I needed six rounds of chemo. I’m due for my next infusion on the 21st. They’re treating me with CARBOplatin and PACLitaxel. I’ve looked up jack shit about them because I don’t want all the possible side effects rattling around in my head. I’m 55 and was post menopausal before all of my inerds were removed.
