Hi Survivor I am a married 29 year old with a 4 month old baby and have just been diagnosed with PPC. I am about to start chemo this Tuesday and am wondering if you have any advice ? I had a pap smear after my little boy was born and this showed an abnormal smear which ended up to be cancerous cells on my cervix. They were all removed and when I was having my check up for that they found the tumour in my stomache. I had a radical hysterectomy, bilateral Salpingo Oopherectomy and omenectomy debulking. They say I am at stage 3 but wont explain much else. My oncologist seems quite positive about getting all the cancer but every where I read there doesnt seem to be a lot of hope. The cancer has spread to the lining of my liver, bowel, bladder and underneath my diaphram. What stage were you at when you started chemo ? any tips on handling the side effects of chemo ?? I want to prepare myself as much as possible !! Any advice would be great
