My mom had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She underwent hysterectomy with debulking of metastasis to upper abdomen, etc. she then underwent one round or cycle of chemo and went on to live 23 great more years, cancer free!! Hang in there! May God continue to bless you!
My Prayers with you. Thank you for sharing your story. Can you tell me a little about her diet and lifestyle after being diagnosed. I also have a family member diagnosed with similar conditions. We are trying out best to do everything along with chemo and targetted therapy. Thank you!
Hi, I hope you all are healthy and happy! I want to share that my mother has also been diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer, and she is HRD negative. If anyone knows about any similar cases, please feel free to contact me regarding the maintenance treatment.
Nicole and I went through cancer together in 2009. She is an absolute incredible human being and I pray health and healing over her body. Love you girl. Keep inspiring those around you.
My sister passed away from stage 4 in one year. She was never cancer free and if there was side effect of chemo she had it. She was 60. So glad you are cancer free

Hang in there, honey. I was stage 3c 18 years ago next month. One suggestion for monitoring is the Signatera test. Simple blood test that looks for your unique tumor dna. CA-125, which I still do every six months (every three months until Covid hit), is an inflammatory marker, I believe. This test picks cancer up at the cell level, long before a tumor could be seen on a scan. None of the tests are perfect, as you know, but the 2 together gives me confidence! Positive thoughts to you and your family.
Thank you for sharing that information and your positivity. I am Nicole in the video and I appreciate your kind words and advice. I am going to look into that test. Congratulations on clear tests/scans.
Ovarian cancer is very hard to diagnose. Most women with this cancer are stage 3 or 4. There are no screening tests like there are for breast, colon, skin cancer. I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and have been in remission for 6months. I wish you well!!
Wouldn’t the annual Pap smear/gyno check-up pick something up? In Germany (where I live) this check-up routinely includes an ultrasound examination of the uterus and ovaries.
I have stage 3C ovarian ca. My cell is a rare cell " clear cell" in which chemo (Taxol/carboplatin) is only 10-20% effective with this cell as opposed to 80% effectiveness with serous cell . But it is still used as the gold standard in all ovarian cell treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment has not changed over the past 10yr bc all the research money is going into breast ca instead of ovarian & especially the rare cell type cancers. I did the adjunt therapy in the hope that it might have some effect. If I relapse, I will try another chemo agent, either po or IV, immunotherapy with Avastin...
God bless you for enduring so much but you are a fighter and continue to be so. I’m battling my demons at 71 and don’t know what’s next but it’s people like you that keep us going. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your kind words. It means a lot. Especially when theres so much negativity and hatred in the world. Im happy to be a light for someone.
I wish they had detected it earlier with breast cancer so young anything in the pelvis should be immediately looked into as may be Bracha +. Glad that you are being followed closely. Such a strong and beautiful lady!
So proud of you. You are so strong. I urge you to look into natural meds, eat protein and NO sugar. You will be on my prayers list. Thank you for sharing your story. YOU WILL BE THE WOMAN TO SHARE 10 YEARS FROM NOW! it's God looking out for you..everytime your heart beats!
Stage 2 Breast Cancer in 2003 at age 44. Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in 2006. Not BRCA positive. After my debulking surgery and chemo, I’ve been cancer free ever since. Sending prayers for your continued good health! 🙏
Health is wealth, congratulations on your recovery!! Food is medicine and can definitely aide in healing your body. When the time is appropriate, educating your daughter will be very important for her healthcare in the future, it was for me. God bless you and your family!!
Wow… What a story! What an incredibly strong woman you are to have been able to go through that much pain and agony for that long. I’m sorry that you had to go through that and I’m so grateful to God for bringing you through it. I will keep you in my prayers. 🧡🙏🏻🧡
God had his hands on this. He is so good. I am so sorry you had to endure all that you had to go through. The Healthcare System these days are not so helpful and drop the ball way too many times anymore.
You look radiantly healthy and beautiful! I’m sorry that you had to suffer for so long before they would send you for the ultrasound. You are an inspiration for your resilient determination!
I'm so glad you are doing well! I'm sure the higher power you are feeling is the Lord God almighty! Having faith and having so many folks lifting me up in prayer during my recent breast cancer dx, mastectomies, and chemo was amazing. I felt carried through the difficulties the entire time. This was my 3rd cancer diagnosis, and without faith, I don't know how I would have gotten through it all. Trust your heart and know that God is with you!
Thank you for watching my story. Yes I truly feel like a miracle and so blessed to be here every single day I open my eyes. I had so many people praying for me and I have quite the army. I couldnt have gotten thru it without the belief in god and believing that I would survive this!
I’m so sorry for all you’ve gone through, thanks for sharing your story. I hope you go back and tell all those doctors who saw you and dismissed it what the outcome was so they know to take others seriously in future, so disappointing.
Dear Nicole, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3c at age 51, more than 5 years ago. 8 hrs surgery, several organs removed, followed by 6 cycles chemo with taxol and carboplatin and 2 years on 600 mg Lynparza per day. I am in remission, meanwhile 4.5 years after chemotherapy. I get a CT scan once a year, CA125 and CRP done twice a year. Still psychologically quite challenged after the experience, and overweight, knowing I should lose weight. But well, I do what I can... Normally, I don't post that much here, but I wanted to wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and to send you a very warm hug from Vienna, Austria. H.
So sorry you have had to go thru all this. I have to say that when you mentioned the Moffit Cancer Center it brings back memories of my niece going through leukemia several years ago. Moffit Cancer Center saved her life. They are amazing. She lives in Tampa and is a teacher at Plant High School. She is doing very well and I am praying that you do also. God bless.
I'm glad you're doing well and you have such a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing your story as you're giving hope to many. God bless you and your lovely family. 💗
I carried ovarian cancer for two years, i would round robin ERs. With the same story got a sonagram and it was the size of a softball then but mri was refused by insurance, when one finally listened they found a 22 pound mass in the surgery
Dear Girl--I have told patients who have cancer: Look--you can look at it like any other chronic condition--such as diabetes--you keep on it, you do what you have to in order to keep it in check--there will be ups and down--but you take on each hurdle. and PS- a big f to your doctors before the gyn did the sono. Thank you for your video. You have saved lives.
Youre so kind. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. Gods been blessing me my whole life. Took me years to thank him and realize this was all him!
I literally have ever single symptom you named I have been going to the doctors for almost 2 years now and got dismissed every time because I’m only 31 it is extremely frustrating and I’m scared I’m gonna died before they figure it out I hope the group of doctors I have now will actually help me
Aww Honey …It’s Divine intervention..It’s Source..And The Love and support of the Rock…He helped give you the strength that made you brave….♥️♥️Sending you strong energy and positive vibes…Peace and Love 💗
Did you know you were BRCA positive after the breast cancer? I’m surprised they weren’t more closely monitoring for ovarian cancer because it causes both. I opted for ovary removal as well.
Amazing story by Nicole on her thoughts of ovarian cancer. I am a caregiver to someone who was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer and has gone through similar stages as nicole - including taking zejula (but due to high BP - stopped taking it). Everyday is a new battle for that person. Doctors mentioned that its a treatable cancer, but not curable - thus person bring in their 70s, will be spending the rest of their life battling cancer (even though was told that its only matter of time - estimated time of 3 yrs since diagnosis in 2022).
@Neonpaws82 : to be honest, it is my mother... and it not an easy battle... like you probably went through...there are good days and there are bad days and side effects of chemo plays a huge part
@@Beer20001 Yes, I get so many compliments how I look but I still battle daily with the side effects from chemo and the parp inhibitor. Some days I can barely move Im in so much pain. I have a lot of joint pain, Shortness of breath, exhaustion, and nausea. I know things could be worse so I think of the symptoms I have as a blessing. Ill pray for you and your mom. Thank you for listening and sharing!
She had breast cancer 15 years prior, is BRCA + and they didn’t bother to really check her reproductive organs? That’s tiptoeing on medical malpractice. My aunt had uterine cancer. I had breast cancer. I had a preventative complete hysterectomy within 4 months of finishing my breast cancer treatment. I wasn’t even taking a chance with that nonsense again. I had ALL of it taken out including the cervix.
Yes, all of the specialists involved were not very good, obviously. Also, I think the health care in Florida is poor. My brother( lived in Florida )had stage 4 kidney cancer and died very quickly. I googled his doctor. The guy was no specialist and no one should have been getting cancer treatment from that guy.
God will be with you🙏 I had surgery on September 25, 2024 and God granted me a Miracle🙏 I had overian cancer. Was walking around for years with it and didn't know BUT GOD!!! There were signs everwhere that I had work to do. Get ready your next in line ... Psalm 29:11b🙏🙏🙏🙏
U r beautiful Nicole. Thanks for sharing your story. My 39 yr old daughter was dx with BRCA1 a few yrs ago here in Canada, had her ovaries removed being proactive. Her 6 yr old daughter is also BRCA1 positive. Lots of other diseases in the family between daughter and grandkids.
@@annefricker8474 Thats exactly true! They felt I was 15yrs cancer free that my symptoms were brushed off so many times. It is sad the care I received from so many.
Sounds just like I'm speaking. Celiac disease too. I'm 63 now and I've been trying to get drs to listen to me. Strokes weren't enough to get their attention and now they're found T5 on my thyroid. I'm so glad you made it. Drs are as bad as the cancer itself. My ortho found first suspicion and ultrasound ultrasound confirmed T5 nodules. Biopsy on Thursday but but my body has known for 3 years.
I can't believe that with your history of Breast Cancer, that they would ignore your belly pain - if you have a BRCA 1or2 gene, then they are linked. How negligent is that! I have Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, and was dying when mine was finally diagnosed. I told them not to bother, but to let me go. No, they treated me, and I've gad my last chemo, & my radical hysterectomy (with Omentectomy & debulking surgery). I'm 11wks post-surgery today, and it's awful. The chemo was mostly fine, except making me anaemic regularly. So, my GP was on 3 months vacation when my OC came to the fore, although it had exactly the year before, too - ie Christmas, hence my family & I assumed it was something I ate over Christmas both times. But looking back now, I was sick for 2, maybe 3 years. It's a blur, as I have other health issues & stresses around that time (including my mum passing away). Anyway, I went to various fill-in doctors in my doctor's absence. I already had referrals for blood test & a urine sample (I thought I had a UTI). The 1st doctor said my belly was gurting because I "take too many medications" (ie re my multiple chronic health issues). I demanded help, so he reluctantly ordered an ultrasound. Anyway, they found a very large Ovarian Tumour, and urged I get a CT scan. The CT scan showed up Ascites & Pleural Effusion. Then, a CA125 cancer blood test showed up as "1,586" - high! I had cancer. With 2 wks of his holiday left, I phoned my doctor, and in 1wk, he spoke to me 3x for 45-60mins, on his own time, he was so concerned for me. I got my Ascites (cancerous fluid in my abdomen) & Pleural Effusion (cancerous fluid in my lung lining) drained. It took awhile for that to settle. I then started chemo, and immediately started to feel better. Chemo was kind to me. I didn't think I could cope with cancer, but I did. And the day before my surgery (which was on late Aug), my CA125 was only 16. My Oncologist calls me a "poster girl for chemo", lol. My only big hiccup was my veins clotting up & cannulas failing - all because of chemo. I had to demand an Infuser Port in my chest - best thing, ever! Anyway, I go to see the Oncologist on 20th Nov to see how my CA125 is now, and to discuss my "Targeted Maintenance Therapy" (2yrs of 1x tablet daily). I won't get another CT scan until early next year. Oh, and I've not got BRCA 1&2. My tumour was tested as "HRD" (environmental). I'm still recovering from the hysterectomy, and have had many setbacks, including a bad UTI. I'll be glad when the swelling goes done & the scar isn't as fresh (this so sensitive). All the best with your cancer. God bless ❤
I was diagnosed with Breast cancer April 2023, and it was stage 1 but they had to do the genetics testing. It was BRCA1positive so I had 60%of developing an ovarian cancer, with that they had to to a preventative hysterectomy. Thanks 🙏 God it was all great no cancer detected. You got this and God will heal us all ❤️ completely 🙏
Hi can you please tell me the tablet name you are taking my mom recently diagnosed with stage 4 overian cancer she is just 51 i am looking for all possible treatments
@@shubhalgowda2506 Im sorry to hear that. Im not sure what seajay is taking for the targeted therapy. I am on a tablet called Lynparza. Ill keep your mom in my prayers.
This is a good lesson as a fellow cancer survivor. We have to be vigilant no matter how many years have passed. You mentioned nausea, abdominal pain, and an inability to urinate despite the urge from the beginning of the video. Alerting your oncologist first thing would have perhaps gotten you a scan much sooner. I’m so sorry about all the other providers who dismissed you. Be well and thank you for sharing 🩷
EDIT: @pbj91 noted to me that at the beginning the woman mentioned that she’d had breast cancer years ago so had an oncologist. Apology for my comment below: She didn’t yet have an oncologist. She hadn’t been dx with a cancer.
Thank you for listening to my story. I did let the different doctors know my symptoms and because they were so GI related, they got brushed off for quite some time. Im happy that I finally got the help I needed and was able to put this behind me and push thru this horrific disease again. Thank you again.
Get well, stay healthy eating and exercise (don’t overdo) - be well for your hubby and kids wished. Mostly for you be well because YOU ARE WORTH IT. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you ate so right!! It's the Lord God Almighty who has blessed you with your healing. He has a purpose and a plan for your life that's why you are still here! Hallelujah! Glory to God!! Prayers for continued strength, healing and love in Jesus name🙌🙏🩷!! I am a recent breast cancer survivor and so grateful to the Lord for answered prayers. I asked Him to let it be known if there was anything they needed to find on my mammogram and ultrasound let it be brought into the light and He did exactly that because my cancer was in such a hard to find place they could barely find it but thank God the ultrasound lady kept moving the wand over and over and over and it was found!! Thank You Jesus!!
Yes!!!!!! I love reading these stories. Thank you for listening to mine. I just celebrated being BR CA free 15years!!!! Now to stay strong and remain in remission to live a long and healthy life!

Ovarian cancer is very hard to diagnose. Most women with this cancer are stage 3 or 4. There are no screening tests like there are for breast, colon, skin cancer.
I have stage 4 ovarian cancer and have been in remission for 6months. I wish you well!!
Wouldn’t the annual Pap smear/gyno check-up pick something up? In Germany (where I live) this check-up routinely includes an ultrasound examination of the uterus and ovaries.
@@Sabena-pl3cw pap smears dont pick it up unfortunately.
Are you interested in telling your story? If so, here is our introductory survey: thepatientstory.com/share-your-story/
@@Sabena-pl3cwThey don’t do ultrasounds at annual appointments in the US. They just feel the abdomen.
I have stage 3C ovarian ca. My cell is a rare cell " clear cell" in which chemo (Taxol/carboplatin) is only 10-20% effective with this cell as opposed to 80% effectiveness with serous cell . But it is still used as the gold standard in all ovarian cell treatment. Unfortunately, the treatment has not changed over the past 10yr bc all the research money is going into breast ca instead of ovarian & especially the rare cell type cancers. I did the adjunt therapy in the hope that it might have some effect. If I relapse, I will try another chemo agent, either po or IV, immunotherapy with Avastin...
You're a miracle ✨️ 🙏 and yes your husband is indeed rock 🪨 God bless you and your family in this upcoming season 🙏

I wish they had detected it earlier with breast cancer so young anything in the pelvis should be immediately looked into as may be Bracha +. Glad that you are being followed closely. Such a strong and beautiful lady!

Stage 2 Breast Cancer in 2003 at age 44. Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer in 2006. Not BRCA positive. After my debulking surgery and chemo, I’ve been cancer free ever since. Sending prayers for your continued good health! 🙏
Health is wealth, congratulations on your recovery!! Food is medicine and can definitely aide in healing your body. When the time is appropriate, educating your daughter will be very important for her healthcare in the future, it was for me. God bless you and your family!!
Wow… What a story! What an incredibly strong woman you are to have been able to go through that much pain and agony for that long. I’m sorry that you had to go through that and I’m so grateful to God for bringing you through it. I will keep you in my prayers. 🧡🙏🏻🧡
Thank you for watching and your kind words.
God had his hands on this. He is so good. I am so sorry you had to endure all that you had to go through. The Healthcare System these days are not so helpful and drop the ball way too many times anymore.
He most certainly did! Thank you for your kind words and listening to my story.

Thank you for such a kind comment! Nicole is wonderful!
Made me smile. Thank you for your compliments and listening to my story!
I'm so glad you are doing well! I'm sure the higher power you are feeling is the Lord God almighty!
Having faith and having so many folks lifting me up in prayer during my recent breast cancer dx, mastectomies, and chemo was amazing. I felt carried through the difficulties the entire time. This was my 3rd cancer diagnosis, and without faith, I don't know how I would have gotten through it all.
Trust your heart and know that God is with you!
Amen!
She SAID she doesn’t know if it’s a god.
Thank you for watching my story. Yes I truly feel like a miracle and so blessed to be here every single day I open my eyes. I had so many people praying for me and I have quite the army. I couldnt have gotten thru it without the belief in god and believing that I would survive this!
You have such a beautiful smile in all of your photos & I’m so glad you’re ok. Thank you for sharing your story 🙏🏼❤
That made me smile! Thank you for your compliment. Im so much better than I ever expected to be. Thank you for listening!
Your doctor knew what's she was doing!!!!! You are a warrior . God bless you dear heart🕊️
Yes she def did. I was meant to have her in my path!
God is good… and Bless these Doctors ❤
I’m so sorry for all you’ve gone through, thanks for sharing your story. I hope you go back and tell all those doctors who saw you and dismissed it what the outcome was so they know to take others seriously in future, so disappointing.
Thank you for listening to my story. It was def disappointing!
Dear Nicole, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3c at age 51, more than 5 years ago. 8 hrs surgery, several organs removed, followed by 6 cycles chemo with taxol and carboplatin and 2 years on 600 mg Lynparza per day. I am in remission, meanwhile 4.5 years after chemotherapy. I get a CT scan once a year, CA125 and CRP done twice a year. Still psychologically quite challenged after the experience, and overweight, knowing I should lose weight. But well, I do what I can... Normally, I don't post that much here, but I wanted to wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart and to send you a very warm hug from Vienna, Austria. H.
Thank you for sharing your battles. I hope and pray for you. You never know until you or yours is there.
TY for listening to my story and your prayers!
So sorry you have had to go thru all this. I have to say that when you mentioned the Moffit Cancer Center it brings back memories of my niece going through leukemia several years ago. Moffit Cancer Center saved her life. They are amazing. She lives in Tampa and is a teacher at Plant High School. She is doing very well and I am praying that you do also. God bless.
Im so glad to hear shes doing well! That place is incredible! I dont think I would have been here today if it wasnt for them.
we have heard great things about this cancer center from patients!
Im sooo happy the treatment worked omg!! Amazing
It did, so blessed my body was so receptive to it!
I'm glad you're doing well and you have such a beautiful spirit. Thank you for sharing your story as you're giving hope to many. God bless you and your lovely family. 💗
I appreciate your kind words. Thank you for watching and listening to my story.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so grateful Nicole sharing her story with us.
I carried ovarian cancer for two years, i would round robin ERs. With the same story got a sonagram and it was the size of a softball then but mri was refused by insurance, when one finally listened they found a 22 pound mass in the surgery
I admire this lady and people like her so much ! Truly inspiring . So brave! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for sharing. This has undoubtedly helped many others to persevere. Sending well wishes and love to you and your beautiful family!
Thank you for listening to my story and your kind words.
Dear Girl--I have told patients who have cancer: Look--you can look at it like any other chronic condition--such as diabetes--you keep on it, you do what you have to in order to keep it in check--there will be ups and down--but you take on each hurdle. and PS- a big f to your doctors before the gyn did the sono. Thank you for your video. You have saved lives.
Thank you for watching and for you’re kind words!
What a freaking warrior ❤ thank you for sharing your story and raising awareness.

Youre so kind. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my story. Gods been blessing me my whole life. Took me years to thank him and realize this was all him!
I literally have ever single symptom you named I have been going to the doctors for almost 2 years now and got dismissed every time because I’m only 31 it is extremely frustrating and I’m scared I’m gonna died before they figure it out I hope the group of doctors I have now will actually help me
Ask for a abdominal ultrasound

U r Blessed and God is the reason.He will always be by your side.
Yes he will! Thank you very much.
Did you know you were BRCA positive after the breast cancer? I’m surprised they weren’t more closely monitoring for ovarian cancer because it causes both. I opted for ovary removal as well.
Yes I knew and I was tested several times a year to keep on top of it. Its just a sad story and Im just happy to be on the other side of it.
Thank you for sharing your story... may you continue to have a cancer free life!! Much respect:)
Thank you for listening to my story!
Amazing story by Nicole on her thoughts of ovarian cancer.
I am a caregiver to someone who was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer and has gone through similar stages as nicole - including taking zejula (but due to high BP - stopped taking it).
Everyday is a new battle for that person. Doctors mentioned that its a treatable cancer, but not curable - thus person bring in their 70s, will be spending the rest of their life battling cancer (even though was told that its only matter of time - estimated time of 3 yrs since diagnosis in 2022).
Thank you for your kind words and listening to my story. I hope your friend proves those doctors wrong!
@Neonpaws82 : to be honest, it is my mother... and it not an easy battle... like you probably went through...there are good days and there are bad days and side effects of chemo plays a huge part
@@Beer20001 Yes, I get so many compliments how I look but I still battle daily with the side effects from chemo and the parp inhibitor. Some days I can barely move Im in so much pain. I have a lot of joint pain, Shortness of breath, exhaustion, and nausea. I know things could be worse so I think of the symptoms I have as a blessing. Ill pray for you and your mom. Thank you for listening and sharing!
Praying for many many many manydecades of health! God bless you! Stay strong!! 🙏🙏❤️
Thank you
Praise the Lord for your recovery. You r a trooper!!!!!❤
Thank you so very much!
She had breast cancer 15 years prior, is BRCA + and they didn’t bother to really check her reproductive organs? That’s tiptoeing on medical malpractice. My aunt had uterine cancer. I had breast cancer. I had a preventative complete hysterectomy within 4 months of finishing my breast cancer treatment. I wasn’t even taking a chance with that nonsense again. I had ALL of it taken out including the cervix.
Yes, all of the specialists involved were not very good, obviously. Also, I think the health care in Florida is poor. My brother( lived in Florida )had stage 4 kidney cancer and died very quickly. I googled his doctor. The guy was no specialist and no one should have been getting cancer treatment from that guy.
I have tumors in my pelvis stomach abdomen surgery dec 2. Scared
God will be with you🙏 I had surgery on September 25, 2024 and God granted me a Miracle🙏 I had overian cancer. Was walking around for years with it and didn't know BUT GOD!!! There were signs everwhere that I had work to do. Get ready your next in line ... Psalm 29:11b🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@debbiejansen1178I live in Miami and the doctors and hospitals here are excellent.
This is where you need to educate and advocate for yourself. Can’t rely on doctors 100% unfortunately.
I AM SO PROUD OF YOU & I KNOW GOD IS TOO🥹🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
God bless, you've been through so much. I want all the best for you and your beautiful family!!! Praying you stay cancer free. xxxoo
Prayers for you!
Thank you so much!
U r beautiful Nicole. Thanks for sharing your story. My 39 yr old daughter was dx with BRCA1 a few yrs ago here in Canada, had her ovaries removed being proactive. Her 6 yr old daughter is also BRCA1 positive. Lots of other diseases in the family between daughter and grandkids.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope they never have to endure anything like this. Thank you for sharing.
I am so sorry for this
God Bless you and your family !!!!!!! Keep the faith !!!!!!!!!
You are very brave. God bless you with good health and a long life❤
Thank you for your kind words.
You would think after the breast cancer they would be on the look out for any pain in the body.
Unfortunately they don’t. Common sense seems to escape some people even doctors it seems.
@@annefricker8474 Thats exactly true! They felt I was 15yrs cancer free that my symptoms were brushed off so many times. It is sad the care I received from so many.
You'd think that they'd be checking out any pain at all , poor girl .
Yeah organs were bruised sounds like
Happy for you. God is good
Sounds just like I'm speaking. Celiac disease too. I'm 63 now and I've been trying to get drs to listen to me. Strokes weren't enough to get their attention and now they're found T5 on my thyroid. I'm so glad you made it. Drs are as bad as the cancer itself. My ortho found first suspicion and ultrasound ultrasound confirmed T5 nodules. Biopsy on Thursday but but my body has known for 3 years.
I can't believe that with your history of Breast Cancer, that they would ignore your belly pain - if you have a BRCA 1or2 gene, then they are linked. How negligent is that!
I have Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer, and was dying when mine was finally diagnosed. I told them not to bother, but to let me go. No, they treated me, and I've gad my last chemo, & my radical hysterectomy (with Omentectomy & debulking surgery). I'm 11wks post-surgery today, and it's awful. The chemo was mostly fine, except making me anaemic regularly.
So, my GP was on 3 months vacation when my OC came to the fore, although it had exactly the year before, too - ie Christmas, hence my family & I assumed it was something I ate over Christmas both times. But looking back now, I was sick for 2, maybe 3 years. It's a blur, as I have other health issues & stresses around that time (including my mum passing away).
Anyway, I went to various fill-in doctors in my doctor's absence. I already had referrals for blood test & a urine sample (I thought I had a UTI). The 1st doctor said my belly was gurting because I "take too many medications" (ie re my multiple chronic health issues). I demanded help, so he reluctantly ordered an ultrasound.
Anyway, they found a very large Ovarian Tumour, and urged I get a CT scan. The CT scan showed up Ascites & Pleural Effusion. Then, a CA125 cancer blood test showed up as "1,586" - high! I had cancer.
With 2 wks of his holiday left, I phoned my doctor, and in 1wk, he spoke to me 3x for 45-60mins, on his own time, he was so concerned for me.
I got my Ascites (cancerous fluid in my abdomen) & Pleural Effusion (cancerous fluid in my lung lining) drained. It took awhile for that to settle.
I then started chemo, and immediately started to feel better. Chemo was kind to me. I didn't think I could cope with cancer, but I did. And the day before my surgery (which was on late Aug), my CA125 was only 16. My Oncologist calls me a "poster girl for chemo", lol.
My only big hiccup was my veins clotting up & cannulas failing - all because of chemo. I had to demand an Infuser Port in my chest - best thing, ever!
Anyway, I go to see the Oncologist on 20th Nov to see how my CA125 is now, and to discuss my "Targeted Maintenance Therapy" (2yrs of 1x tablet daily). I won't get another CT scan until early next year.
Oh, and I've not got BRCA 1&2. My tumour was tested as "HRD" (environmental).
I'm still recovering from the hysterectomy, and have had many setbacks, including a bad UTI. I'll be glad when the swelling goes done & the scar isn't as fresh (this so sensitive).
All the best with your cancer. God bless ❤
I was diagnosed with Breast cancer April 2023, and it was stage 1 but they had to do the genetics testing. It was BRCA1positive so I had 60%of developing an ovarian cancer, with that they had to to a preventative hysterectomy. Thanks 🙏 God it was all great no cancer detected. You got this and God will heal us all ❤️ completely 🙏
Hi can you please tell me the tablet name you are taking my mom recently diagnosed with stage 4 overian cancer she is just 51 i am looking for all possible treatments
@@shubhalgowda2506 Im sorry to hear that. Im not sure what seajay is taking for the targeted therapy. I am on a tablet called Lynparza. Ill keep your mom in my prayers.
You are inspiring. Prayers for you.
This is a good lesson as a fellow cancer survivor. We have to be vigilant no matter how many years have passed. You mentioned nausea, abdominal pain, and an inability to urinate despite the urge from the beginning of the video. Alerting your oncologist first thing would have perhaps gotten you a scan much sooner. I’m so sorry about all the other providers who dismissed you. Be well and thank you for sharing 🩷
EDIT: @pbj91 noted to me that at the beginning the woman mentioned that she’d had breast cancer years ago so had an oncologist. Apology for my comment below:
She didn’t yet have an oncologist. She hadn’t been dx with a cancer.
@@CeeradsShe mentioned at the beginning of the video that she had a prior cancer diagnosis and had battled breast cancer 15 years earlier
@@pbj91 OMG, she did! Thank you. Apology.
Thank you for listening to my story. I did let the different doctors know my symptoms and because they were so GI related, they got brushed off for quite some time. Im happy that I finally got the help I needed and was able to put this behind me and push thru this horrific disease again. Thank you again.
NP, I was having diverticulitis attacks before being diagnosed with Leukemia.
Interesting how that happens prior to cancer.
You are so pretty 😊
Praying for you, my Mom died from ovarian cancer almost 30 years ago.
Im sorry to hear that. Im sure youre very proud of her. Thank you for listening to my story and your prayers.

Prayers for continued strength, healing and love in Jesus name🙌🙏🩷!! I am a recent breast cancer survivor and so grateful to the Lord for answered prayers. I asked Him to let it be known if there was anything they needed to find on my mammogram and ultrasound let it be brought into the light and He did exactly that because my cancer was in such a hard to find place they could barely find it but thank God the ultrasound lady kept moving the wand over and over and over and it was found!! Thank You Jesus!!
Yes!!!!!! I love reading these stories. Thank you for listening to mine. I just celebrated being BR CA free 15years!!!! Now to stay strong and remain in remission to live a long and healthy life!
