Help for my little girl with ovarian cancer.

 I posted this message on the emational category, but I felt it was appropiate to post it here as well, I apologize if you got to see it twice. 

My daughter, 22years old, has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. she was operated this past March laposcopically. At her second check up the cancer was back. She is going for her second operation in few days. Initially she was taking it quite well, but now she is  becoming very depressed and afraid of what is going to happen.  She doesn't feel this is fare to people that love her and support her like her boyfriend that lives with her or her parents. I'm sure she thinks that is not fare to herself too. I myself believe that is not fare. I really believe she needs to talk to someone to help her dealing with her situation. I try to give her all the support I can and show her my positive outlook, but I understand it is not enough. She needs to hear it from either a professional or someone that went through with a positive outcome, to give her  more hope and strenght. Does anyone have a suggestion where to go for help? I really appreciate any suggestions. It is already so hard to deal with the desease specially when it is your baby, but I can't stand to see her getting depress and hopeless. Thank you again for your help. Alex

 

I am sure this is very difficult for you, as well as your daughter. Cancer is not fair, there is now question about that. I am not as young as your daughter, but I was diagnosed at stage IIIC in October 2007 when I was 49 years old. My daughter was only 12.  For me, what was most upsetting at the time was thinking about the fact that I may not be around for my daughter. I only thought that way briefly, and then I thought to myself, the hell with statistics, I NEED TO BE A SURVIVOR !   Luckily for me, both my parents are around, and they were very positive throughout the whole ordeal ( my husband was too, but to a lesser degree ). My parents kept telling me that they knew I would overcome this, no matter what the statistics say. So whenever I would get a little down, they were there boosting me up. Having them feel so optimistic for me was the best therapy I could have. I began to do hours of research on things to help : diet, supplements, exercise, books, etc, and my parents helped me with that significantly, As a matter of fact, I eat a lot of raw almonds as part of my healthy raw, organic diet, and my parents keep going to special store that sells nuts to keep me stocked up. I guess my point in all of this is to tell you that you can have the biggest impact on your daughter. I know you are sad and frightened ( I'm sure my parents were/are behind closed doors as well ), but as hard as it may be for you, you need to be positive, uplifiting, optimistic, and don't ever think for one minute that she won't be a survivor !  I am remission, only one year out from diagnosis, but I truly believe that my parents have had the greatest impact on my attitude and survival.

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestions and I will definately follow the recommendations that you gave me. We all are thinking positive, I cannot even consider any other way. She has always been a fighter and I'm sure that with the help of everyone around she is going to win even this. She just needs to come out from this temporary depression and feel secure that she is not a burdon for nobody. And probably she needs to know that you can survive this. I will look too in to the diet that you are talking about. Thank you again, I really appreciated your Kind words.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear about your problems and I think you need to see a doctor to check what is causing your symptoms. I really would no worry to much with ovarian cancer right away. You had a negative ultrasound test and that is usually the test that detects if there is some kind of tumor. Neverless you should seek the opinion of a professional, your symptoms are probably related to something else. My daughter did not have any symptoms at all. She went to see a gynocologist after my reccomandation to check about cervical cancer immunization, that is so highly advertised on TV. During that visit the doctor found something wrong and  sent her for an ultrasound. The test revealed that there was a tumor which was confirmed by an MRI.  She sent her to a gynocologist oncologist which performed surgery within two weeks and found out that it was cancer. Only during surgery you can see if it is cancer or just a fatty tumor. Evidently frequent check ups are important. My daughter went to the gynocoloist just less than a year before and there was nothing wrong at that time. So, again find a way to go to a doctor and be checked. It is important. And let's hope that finally they can come up with a better health care system for everybody, specially for children and young people like you. Good luck and I wish you all the best. Alex

Hello Alex -

I am so sorry to hear of what you and your daughter are going through. I am a stage IV ovarian cancer patient. I found that after 4 years of fighting I needed to talk to a professional. I went to an organization called CancerCare. It is a national organization that provides free counseling to  patients and their families and loved ones. I found this organization to be such a tremendous help. I think their website is www.cancercare.org. I also have an 800 number. I don't know if it is for your area. I live on Long Island in NY and I used this # when I first called them - 1-800-813-4673.

I wish you and your daughter all the best. God bless.

Diane T.
