My story as a survivor of Ovarian cancer stage 3rd C and my experience was traumatizing, painful, new learning, my new better self, and much more.
Background
I was living far away from my hometown because of major family issues. So I just decided that I will live far away from them to explore myself. I was always constantly feeling that my periods are just so painful for the last 10years and no medications are working on it, no exercise is working, no food is working and my mental health is just getting drowned.
The last few days before getting my diagnosis I was feeling numb, living alone can’t eat drink anything, heavy bloated big stomach, blood coming from my mouth while puking, can’t even walk. So one of my closest friends called my family to that my health is getting worse day by day.
My father came and took me from there and we both went to the hospital and the doctors told my father immediately that she needs to shift right now in ICU. After getting so many tests, scans, biopsy and much more. They told me I have cancer and they can’t do anything about it because it has spread to other parts of my body and I have only a few months left to live.
Motivation
At that time I wasn’t getting scared of death but the only thing which was coming my way to my brain was that I did nothing, nothing happier to make my life myself happy. I didn’t live the life I wanted to and only that thing made my willpower so strong that I need to push back myself, I have to set myself accordingly because I lived a life mixed with hell and this is not it is going to end. I have to be my own hero to enjoy my own journey.
So I went through 6×2 chemotherapies, one salphingo oophorectomy surgery, and yes that heartbreaking menopause at the age of 22 and I am living with so many side effects of medicines and yet so much more.
But it’s worth the wait, worth the pain, and worth my heartbreak. So many people left me even my mother, my closest people and I am still grateful to myself, my few people and life goes on even it is not going as we want, it still goes on.
It’s beautiful you are beautiful
