OVARIAN CANCER VLOG -How I found out I had a cyst, my surgery, and my chemotherapy plan

- Last week I found out I have Ovarian Cancer from a teratoma tumor found in a cyst on my right ovary. After emergency surgery to untwist my ovary and remove the cyst, I was told the tumor was cancerous and will have to start chemotherapy shortly.
If you are going through something similar, please listen to your body and be an advocate for your own health. This is a lesson I had to learn and I hope this can help anyone who is currently struggling.
Since then, my fiancé and I decided to plan a wedding in 6 days, I cut my hair, and we're officially married. That and so much more.
I've decided I'm going to try and make the most out of this with a positive attitude and ten thousand wigs.
If you have any advice, tips, or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! You can email me!
I can totally relate. When I had horrible back pain, it took a year of being blown off by my doc (she’d say “you’re young and healthy, just exercise and lose some weight”) before I finally demanded an MRI and found about my cancer. The person who did the MRI told me “based on what I’ve seen, please don’t go home. Go straight to the ER. They’re expecting you.” Then, a surgeon came and told me that if I had waited even 1 more day, I would probably be paralyzed. At that point, I was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. That’s when it really hit me about the importance of taking the lead in your own health and never give your power away to anyone, not even an authority figure in a crisp white coat. I’m still dealing with my condition, but I’m the one in charge of how I do so.
Wow Leslie that’s an insane way to figure all of that out! I had no idea. I’m so proud of you and you are so so strong. I love you so much♥️
This makes me so angry that doctor act this way and constantly feel the need to brush off our symptoms. They say “ listen to your body “ , well good luck finding a doctor who feels the same.
They don’t give 2 F...
I've had excruciating neck fracture pain go away while I was reading the bible out loud, my bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so never forget your daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more each day. If it can heal neck fractures I believe it can surely heal anything else. Oh and always be a faithful Tither, I've been healed many many times through my Tithing also.
I’m right there with you. Stage 3b ovarian cancer diagnosed on 11/10/20 after laparoscopic surgery. I went to the ER on 10/30 because I was so bloated. I almost didn’t go to the ER. So glad I did. So glad you did. My heart is with you. Prayers sweet girl 🦋
Hi Kara, hope you are doing well. Are u on any targetted treatment now
Please put an update, I got super worried for you until I found your insta and the baby and that made me super happy!!!! Congratulations
Thank you for your comment... I saw see hadn't posted in 3 years. Glad she is doing well
Thanks for sharing your story. I have a rare stage Iv cancer that I’m the only one in the US with (kidney). I was told I an anxiety for a year & a half and no one took me seriously. All my abdominal pains were dismissing as menstrual cramps too. Sharing your story is so important & it’s so helpful to connect with others.
You know your body best! Trust your gut and advocate for yourself!

You're so damn strong! 😭 I love your personality and can relate to you a lot. Im chronically ill and ran off and eloped 3 weeks ago. I got some pretty crappy news (twice) yesterday and watching your video made me both laugh and cry! I am sending you all of my love and light my friend! 🤗
You express yourself so well. You are a beautiful girl. Congratulations on your recent wedding. Wishing you all the very best, love from Australia
Just had a teratoma removed a week ago. Still waiting on pathology reports. I thank the fact that I have an IUD everyday, for it being the reason I found out I had a cyst in the first place. You're beautiful and WILL get through this. STAY STRONG ❤
Hi, I also have Ovarian Cancer, This is my Second Go @ it within the year :( You have the perfect attitude to beat this beast.
You are a talented beautiful soul when we met im sending you positive and optimistic vibes your way 🙏🏼
You probably already have thought of this, but.... often young women facing chemo decide to freeze some eggs, just in case. Good luck to you, and thank you for the encouragement to advocate for ourselves - you are already helping others!
Good luck on your Journey
Stay upbeat
Thanks for sharing
Keeping you in my prayers 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

If you need support like psychologist take opportunity will help you to beat that horrendous monster. Please don't suffer in silence. all the best.
I love your personality
Thank you for sharing I hope you’re in a better place with your health now. You’re very vague symptoms sound eerily similar to mines. I have a stat order for a biopsy of my uterus and just also found out I have complex cyst on both my ovaries. The pain started about 4 months ago in my right lower quadrant and seems to happen every 2 months.
I have a visible mass in the same area, it’s especially visible when I lie on my back. I’ve been a nurse for over 10 years and I’m honestly really scared. The symptoms are so vague that I started second guessing my self up until I started getting the horrific pain. My advice is if you feel something is off with your body, please follow your first mind.
Philly Lisa here.How are you now honey?Haven't heard anything lately.God Bless You Sweetheart❤
Thank you for sharing!God is good !!!👍 God bless you!!
I was asleep and felt a knife stab pain in my lower right side, went to ER, I had internal bleeding, a cyst had ruptured, was sent 2 hours away since no surgeons around here that saw my CT would operate. The surgeon made me wait 2 days to get surgery, in excruciating pain, bilateral collapsed lungs, blood pooling around heart and lungs, finally had the surgery, needed a blood transfusion, and now he won't release the full lab results until I see him next Friday. I'm very blessed to be alive. I'm sorry you are going through this. I am glad though they caught it before it ruptured. Any update?
God bless you! I had brain cancer a few years ago and was always looking for others going through cancer, can I recommend a girl that is amazing , her channel is Cheyenne Shaw, she has ovarian also and is a true warrior. I will pray for you ! You will get through this! 💕
Inspiring!!
You’re so young! I wouldn’t worry about your face you’re beautiful
Thank you for sharing this I’m going in tomorrow to get checked bc my groin lymph nodes are swollen and I’m prone to cysts💗

Just like you i had no symptoms really up until the end where the pain got bad and i did get bloated. Ive always had on time periods with minimal cramps. I did have faint pains like you did here and there in my pelvis and now looking back it wasnt just cramp pain it was a whole neoplasm and my body was trying to tell me😒
Thank you for sharing your story ❤
When u guys say bloated does it include continues burping,or passing gas or just plain bloated hard stomach?
@@cloverajazz6743 for mine it was just a plain bloated hard stomach and it actually felt like I had gas but it would never pass like it was stuck or something.
@@terraamber thank u for answering☺️
When I was diagnosed with my brain tumor I had undergone a rule out brain MRI because I had a neck/ortho injury. I went in for the results and the MA handed me a paper with the MRI read out including “mass at pineal bland”. I just remember sobbing and not being able to function after that. Mistakes happen but you gotta be so much more careful with results like this. Hang in there!
That’s crazy , I had a brain tumor in my pineal gland also, it was a grade 3, was your cancer also?
You are a very brave and beautiful young lady. I will pray to the Lord Jesus Christ to walk with you through this. Hang in there, you will be just fine.
i can relate to this i had a cyst a few years ago and needed surgery because a it was twisted and because of the size it was a dermoid cyst and now i found out i have another cyst on the oppoisite side to the one i had previously so having surgery again i had the dull ache in the pelvis as well and i was told to get this checked out i am glad i did
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎉👏🎊🎊🎉👏🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 on your wedding. Wishing you all the best 💘💕💘💘💘😘😘😘😘😘 in your recovery.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Keeping you in my prayers dear Katie. You are going to kick cancer to the curb.
Thank you so much Michelle! xoxo
Thanks for doing this vidio
I have been begging my doctors and hospital for 5years to remove my girly parts cos if experienced so much pain and bloting and bleeding non stop
Now if got a sist over 10cm and a solid mass Over 12cm and growing 3.4 cm a week
So I appear to be pregnant like I'm carrying triplets
Now after 5years they listen
So I'm due to go into theatre on the 8th of November
Hoping it's not cancer but its almost like I already know it is.gut feeling
Good luck and Thank you so much for this.❤❤❤❤❤❤love Bonita
i feel like anything weird you gotta get an ultrasound immediately. I've gone more than once. But it all depends on your doctor you have to get one that will listen and be very aggressive about testing you, re-testing if something is off, etc.
you got this katie! we believe in you! dont give up. fight on! youre a warrior. god bless you. #fuckcancer
I love you baby!!!
Came here because I just had a hysterectomy last week, yesterday my dr said the dermoid was cancer, so now I'm trying to stay calm till my 2 week check up to find out more And I'm currently a mess. ☹️☹️☹️
I’ve been blown off for 20 years with my ovarian cyst. They are finally going to remove it as they feel it is now cancerous. I could not tell you how many painful emergency visits I’ve had. I have lung cancer so one of my pet scans triggered alarm. Now I get actions. Saw my woman’s oncologist. Now waiting on surgery.
I've had neck fracture pain go away while I was reading the bible out loud, my bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so never forget your daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more each day. If it can heal neck fractures I believe it can surely heal anything else. Oh and always be a faithful Tither, I've been healed many many times through my Tithing also.
Hi, your story is inspiring. Right now I am so bloated I look 4 or 5 months pregnant. At first I thought I had just gained weight. Now I am tone except for my abdomen. I have been to so many doctors. Everyone just says , that everything is normal. I had an ultrasound and showed a 2 cm cyst. It is not big enough for doctors to want to do anything about. I have had chest pain and breathing problems. I was prescribed a diuretic and that has helped the chest pain and breathing. I do have pain in my abdomin but not all the time. I am just frustrated and feel like I am yelling for help and no one can hear me. I don't know what to do.

You could just have a cyst. And it will dissolve. 2 cm is normal. So don't worry yourself sick. It is normal...if you have pain, it could be bursting cyst.
I am so so sorry to hear this bless your heart x im sure all will be ok hun xjust think about your needs and if you need sleep have sleep just take hun x i dont like to ask you this but im due in next weel to look for ovarian cancerx did you have a blood test before hun to check if you had cancer cells in your body i think its a CA 125 (cancer antigen 125 ) you dont have to tell me hun ,big gentle hugs please take care love Bren xxxxx
🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Ii have had a 8.2 x 7.4 cm cyst but they called it a fallopian tube (that tube was removed in 2015. I had a hysto 12 yrs ago. My right ovary is torsioned. They are telling me the same thing. It has mixed density. They say my ca-125 is fine but I move and I feel like I get a Charlie horse in my tummy. It’s been a a yr, my health is declining, I can’t stay awake. My dr says “ur too young” im 41. I have a cyst on left side as well and left side ovary is enlarged. They won’t take it out because they say my stomach has too much scar tissue from history of endo and cyst surgeries: ovarian cancer runs through my immediate family on both sides. I don’t know what to do anymore. I had cervical cancer in 2003. They say the ct shows the growths etc. what else do they need to do something
I’m going through the same thing now I think. I have a 2.5 cm cyst and I’m getting all the symptoms and my grandmother was diagnosed at 23. I just found out about it. I’m scared because they want me to wait 2 months but I don’t want to wait
Any updates?
And my Mother had ovarian cancer
How do you get shood away with symptoms
Hi I am a new subscriber and I have subscribed . I also have a cyst in my ovaries on the right and I have to see a specialist for a follow up. I even have blueish or black colour on my vagina. I also have red colour on the other side of it so I am a little concerned. I’ve also been experiencing stomach pains as well lately and I’m only 34 years old. So now I am just waiting to see a doctor. What do you think it will happen next ?! I’m very nervous

Hi there Thank you for sharing I’m going to share my story if anyone has any advice please comment
Hi there. My name is Aliyah and I’m 22 years old and a mom to a 2 year old daughter. My mom had cervical cancer, my aunt and grandma breast cancer, and my cousin died of brain tumors at 25 years old . I have been having pain in my stomach for many months, no peorids in 8 months but swollen in my stomach and hard like I’m 3 months pregnant. I also have had white foamy stool and Back pain and always feeling full and going pee. I have begged the doctors to help me but I was in the er until 3am the other night for them to tell me nothing is wrong with me I just have a stomach bug. Could this be true? I also have had a lump in my breast and a cyst on my ovary that my obgyn dismissed I have medicade so I tried to make an appointment with a different doctor and they won’t let me please what do I do I don’t want to ignore this and die while I have a daughter but no doctor seems to care.. I’ve been so reluctant to believe myself because my daughters family on her dads side are all nurses and tell me I’m just crazy and a hypochondriac but I’ve never even thought or said something was wrong with me until after symptoms started
(The cyst on my ovary ruptured in July and they never biopsied it but have referred me to be biopsy 2 times and the gi doctor “never got my referral”
I can empathize with u, it’s like screaming for help from the medical field but getting pushed aside and given little to no attention. I’m going thru similar right now. Let them know you’re in pain and need relief.. I hope you can find an answer. Be patient but persistent. Sending Love
Prepare for EXTREME exhaustion and nausea.
So when did you have the ultrasound? You skipped right over that part...the advice nurse told you to go to the ER? And the Dr didnt see what the nurse did?? Covid amd you didnt go to the dr and get a ultrasound and then the nurse just send you on to the er, bc you have cystic acne...and looking at an ultrasound. They cant tell you anything about the images. Only the dr. And why the internal bleeding from a cyst? You didnt explain that when its been there growing...where did the bleeding come from??
Pls stop calling your abdomen your 'stomach'. The stomach is typically in the upper quadrant.
Hey I have a dull ache in my pelvic area, it’s not painful it’s just abit annoying, it comes and goes once a month it’s less painful now then when it first happened. Should I get this checked ?
i had a cyst a few years ago and had surgery to remove it i was always told if i was to have any dull pelvic pain or anything else related to get this checked out again if it comes back which i did because now they found another one i am saying this to scare you far from it but if you concerned its always better to get this checked if only for you peace of mind good luck
How is she doing?I hope well love her attitude❤️

Are you cancer free now ??
My symptoms were ditto to yours, cystic/nodular acne, stomach /gastro issues, bloated all the time and weight gain around my stomach. Never had irregular periods.
I just got my 10cm teratoma laparoscopically removed in October. Thankfully it was just a rare kind but non cancerous. The diagnosis was hard with periods of uncertainty.
Sometimes life leaves you no option except to fight. Fight as hard as you can being as gentle as you can to yourself ❤️
Could you feel the teratoma when pressing on your abdomen?
