If found early, and it hasn't spread, cure rate is 75%. Requires chemo and removal of her parts in most cases. If it's spread at all, cure rate drops to 2 out of 5.

GB her, you and your family. My prayers will be with everyone involved.

OMG, I am very sorry to hear that.

 

What are the next steps that she's chosen to take?

 

I was thinking, you often mention that she's kinda crazy and stuff, well, perhaps her hormones were all jacked up due to the cancer, etc. Just thinking out loud.

 

Many positive thoughts out there for you guys.

[cgod 0]

OK, first let me start by saying I would never wish this on anyone, no matter what.

 

That said, is this the ex who made life hell for you for awhile and then started in again after you decided you didn't wanna get back together with her?

 

Regardless, thoughts and prayers for her speedy and total recovery.

No steps yet, just got the bloodwork back. She'l go to a specialist to see if it's spread and what options there are.

 

- If it's spread, full removal of parts, multiple sessions of chemo

- Not spread, but covering all of her ovaries...chemo and removal

- Not spread and not advanced, they can try surgery to remove the cancer and then go with chemo

 

Being that she already has two kids and her tubs were tied, they'll probably remove everything regardless.

[Brown Eyed Girl 1]

Oh God.. Shovelheadt, I'm so sorry to hear that.

 

My prayers will be with her, your daughter and you in that you can find the strength to get through what lies ahead.

Yes, this is her. I kind of feel bad because I was joking around with some coworkers a couple of weeks ago saying "Why doesn't she just get butt cancer or something".

 

And thus, you also. Prayers.

 

I don't know, I'll definitely have my daughter full time for the next 3-6 months or so. Maybe forever, if sh*t goes badly.

I'm good, it's my daughter I'm worried about. If it's just a temp thing with "mommy is sick", then I'll be able to deal with it. If the worst happens, I don't know how I'll deal with it.

Maybe you should joke with your coworkers about me winning a million dollars?

 

 

Also sorry to hear about this

[Spider fantasy 0]

So sorry to hear that. This is still you baby's mother, someone's daughter... and it just sucks.

 

Give your daughter all the comfort and security you can because regardless of the outcome, she so young and impressionable and this sort of event will be so difficult for everyone.

 

Hugs,

Spider

Wow... I echo the thoughts and prayers of everyone here.

 

In the interest of helping prevent this in and/or help others, how was it found?

[patweisers44 697]

You got alot in front of you there man and i will keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers. If you ever wanna chat, let me know.

I guess she was having major issues with her period and went in for some tests.

- Fock her family, they've never been there for her

- I hear ya on my daughter. I remember how difficult it was explaining stuff to her when her mom left. I can just imagine how bad it would be if she died.

[SmartassBoiler 0]

I hope she's in the 75% and gets well.

[RLLD 3,455]

Sorry bruh, hope it works out for you all. Buck up, I'll buy the beers at the Ravens game...

[CurlyNight 0]

I'm very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Hopefully it was caught soon enough where she will be ok with treatment.

[ellisonb11 0]

man my prayers are with u. im sorry to hear this, and hopefully everything will turn out alright.

[nobody 2,038]

sorry, man. No more choke focking for awhile I guess.

[Fervid Ro 0]

hang in there

[shovelheadt 61]

Thanks for all the thoughts. Seriously, I'll be fine. It will just be a struggle watching my 4 year old deal with it if it goes badly.

 

And one more thing I didn't mention...she has a 10 year old son that won't have any parents left if she passes away.

[TommyGavin 788]

sucks for both kids. I know a 14 year old that lost 2 fathers (real and adoptive) by 10 and he is out of control now - who can blame him.

 

GL w/ your daughter

[peenie 1,690]

life has a way of humbling people more than we could have ever wished, imagined or even ever wanted.

 

i don't know your situation and i get geek's stories mixed up, but if i can recall she wasn't a very stable or responsible mother.

 

if she has no family will it be you who will have to care for her? has she remarried? imagine if you are the one to help her through this hard time.

 

chemo and rad therapy are effective treatments that really wear down the body. i hope you can be there for her, she'll need all the support and love she can get.

[DAVID RUFFIN 1]

Thoughts and prayers for her speedy and recovery.

T&Ps go out for you and the kids. Hope it all works out for the best.

there isn't anything more evil or scary on planet earth.

 

glad to hear it looks like they caught it in time. thoughts and prayers.

Yes, she's the nutjob. But like someone else mentioned, anything dealing with the ovaries has a habit of screwing up your hormones, so maybe that explains some of it.

 

And hell no I won't be taking care of her. She's got a live in boyfriend that will hopefully help her out and I'll take care of our daughter. I severed that tie a couple of months ago. She had a habit of coming to me for money emergencies so i finally told her "I think it's time for you to rely on someone else...like your boyfriend". I know it sounds cold, but she's on her own other than my daughter or if she wants to talk or something like that. Either way, I'm sure the next few months will be pure hell as I'll have to make a lot of trips so my daughter can see her mom in the hospital or at home. Oh well.

 

One can only handle so much arguing, insults, threats, etc. Over the past few months it had gotten to the point where I went from caring for her as the mother of my daughter to feeling my blood pressure rise at the mere sight of her name on my caller ID.

 

glad to hear it looks like they caught it in time. thoughts and prayers.

 

I don't know about that. After she left, she didn't even have insurance for a while. It wouldn't surprise me if this was her first female type checkup in a few years.

[Chronic Husker 85]

Best wishes, man.

 

Hope this doesn't sound horrible, but of all the geeks that this could happen to, I think you'll be very apt at dealing with this situation.

[doughboys_2002 11]

Best wishes to you and your family!

Not sure what you mean, but it's cool.

I also have a 4 year old. She has hit the "Why?" stage. (Always asking why). From a parent standpoint it will be hard answering those questions. Hopefully for your family, this story will have a happy ending. Good Luck and God Bless Shovel.

This is what I'm NOT looking forward to. She knows what death is because we've talked about grandpa-great being sick "because he's real old". So every now and then it's "I hope you don't ever get old daddy".

[shovelheadt 61]

Another thing just popped into my head. If the worst does happen, my ass will be back in Ohio so quick that nobody will know I ever worked here. I've got no family here and neither does my GF.
