I was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer and what the kicker was my back surgery discovered it

I start treatment next week but over the last few days I have developed excruciating back pain and feel like my arms and legs feel like sandbags.

As a survivor with 2 back to back recurrences and a possible third recurrence, getting CAT scan Tuesday for determination, I can tell you that the journey is a rough one. I have found that keeping faith in god and having family and friends who support you goes a long way in your mental health. Also join groups like this one where experiences can be shared, so you don’t feel alone. Wishing you good luck and peace of mind.
