Patient 👋 Who here is going through terminal?

Hello everyone, I didn’t want to feel alone in this situation but I wanted to know who is going through terminal stage and how are you coping? Thank you 🙏

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I have stage 4 ovarian cancer, and have been on constant chemo for 3.5 years (sometimes full, sometimes maintenance). At first I was given 6 months, then a year, then possibly up to 5 years. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. My faith has made a big difference in dealing with it, and my husband. I decided to keep living and try to forget the terminal part of my illness. I remind myself no one is promised tomorrow, and do my best. I do wish I was well enough to travel, do more things. Sending you love, peace, and hope! All good things!

I feel you. My sister and I both had stage 3. She’s reoccurred once and I’m in remission. We know it’s not curable, we know it will keep coming back until it kills us.

It’s hard to live with but…the world keeps spinning, right?
