Hi, My name is Alexis age 28. I am the mother of three handsome boys ages 7, 6 & 3.
On July 11, 2018 I was diagnosed with stage ll ovarian cancer. Looking back, I know I felt really fatigue. I kept thinking that maybe I had a infection because I was also going to the toilet more than usual and I had a pain in my pelvis.
I was in the middle of helping plan my sisters wedding at the time, and I remember trying on my bridesmaid dress and noticing that it was tight on my stomach. I decided to make an appointment to see my GP. She sent me for a blood test - and later an ultrasound . The ultrasound technician didn’t say anything, I just had a feeling that something wasn’t quite right. Following my ultrasound I was sent for an MRI scan and a CT scan. Still nobody said anything to me about cancer, or about ovarian cancer.
Finally, I was referred to the gynae department at my local hospital, and they told me that they were going to refer me to a specialist team for surgery. Two weeks after my operation I was told I had stage II ovarian cancer and that I would need Chemo therapy.
I don’t really know where to go from here I was referred to this site by a nurse at my hospital. I don’t come from a wealthy family so that’s not an option. I was working three jobs before this but since things have gotten a little worse I’m down to one. I have some savings but nothing compared to what I’m facing. Lord I come to you asking for your blessings in your name I pray. Amen.
