Hi,
I'm new to this and I really need to know if anyone has figured out how to be ok with your new/after cancer life. I was diagnosed at 45 with stage 3C ovarian cancer. Surgery, chemo and we thought I was in the clear. Six months later it was back. More chemo, clears up and back in 6 months. I have had 3 rounds of chemo and been on Zejula for the last 6 months. I'm pretty sure its back. I see doctor in 2 weeks. This is the thing though. How do you get out and have a normal life when you are back in treatment 6 months of every year? I want to go back to work. I want to wake up in the morning and feel good. I used to exercise everyday. Now I'm fat, I hate it! I don't have the energy to walk around the mall. I try. Everytime after chemo I work on losing the weight, getting stronger, but I don't get anywhere. It makes me so mad! How do I have a life? I'm really lonely. I'm home all day while everyone goes to work. The only friends I have also have cancer and they are busy fighting their own battles. I should mention that I moved to a new state 2 years ago. I have friends, they just aren't close.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
