The woman I love has been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer; so any info, or personal experiences shared here would be much appreciated.
Of course she has a doctor to tell her what to expect. But it just so happens to be a very touchy subject with her; and getting any feedback on any matter at all, has always seemed to be just like pulling teeth. Needless to say: she is a very private person. I just hoped that maybe I could gather some information on my own, so that I could talk to her about it.
Specifically, aside from the obvious distressing effect of being faced with ones own mortality: what are the biochemical effects on the mind, if any, of this malady?
She had seemed somewhat depressed to me for a long time even before she was diagnosed; so I thought perhaps that the cancer was affecting her somehow, psychologically even.
