Looking for support
Last year I was treated for Stage 4 appendix cancer that metastasized to the peritoneum. I'm in the monitoring stage which, for me, post-cancer has been difficult. Having hard time adjusting back to normal routines & activities. I start work about May 9th & chemo fog & lack of concentration along with memory issues have me concerned. Has anyone had this & any suggestions on how to improve it? Thank you.

Good morning Amy. This most certainly is nothing any of us expected, huh? I was diagnosed in December, 2021 with IV ovarian which is now primary peritoneal cancer. It has definitely not been an easy road emotionally. I went back to work (after almost 5 months) last week. It was hard getting back into the swing of it...but slowly I am. I tried not to be too hard on myself because I had to realize this has been a difficult journey. As far as any concentration, etc. I found myself lacking some interest in concentrating on things I did not want to do anymore. I love my job but in the middle of this emotional rollercoaster, it was difficult. I tried to be gentle with myself and realize anyone would be in the same boat. This diagnosis changes your entire outlook on everything. Be easy, take one moment at a time and respect your situation. Are you going back fulltime? What kind of work do you do?

Stage 1A Uterine Serous Carcinoma cancer reoccurred in my peritoneal. I’ve just had my first treatment of 6 …21 day treatments of Carbo/taxol/Avastin followed (if it works) by 12 more Avastin. Is anyone else on this treatment or how did it work for you? Any update on experiences
