On August 22, 2018 I received the dreaded call that I have Stage 3A Seromucinous Carcinoma Ovarian Cancer. It all started with a swollen belly, and on July 27, 2018 after a Dr. visit and ultrasound, it was discovered that there was a huge mass that needed to be removed. A CT scan and lots of bloodwork later, surgery was scheduled. On August 14, 2018 surgery was performed at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee. They removed my ovaries that had a 16 cm mass (left) and a 6.5 cm mass (right). They also removed some pelvic lymph nodes to biopsy that came back as cancer. A port was placed September 6th and September 11th, during the first round of chemotherapy, I had a major allergic reaction which caused me to be rushed to the E.R. to be stabilized. I will have chemo every 3 weeks and will be doing 6 rounds. Hopefully, after the chemo is done, I will only need to return every 3 months!! - Nicole.
