Hi Im a year and a half into my cancer journey. Had emergency surgery in June of 2024 they removed my ovaries uterus part of my colon and several lymph nodes . In June of 2025 they reattached my colon. So far Im still cancer free . I started having severe back pain in November and Im still dealing with that . They think its from kidney stones . Going to get a CT as soon as I can . It's been a long fight and Im so tired of being sick .
