Community Posts (May 2023 – December 2025)

When I first got diagnosed, I chose to have a surgery to take my ovaries out (so I could start treatment and not have to do the monthly injections). I got a bit overwhelmed updating people, so created a community on WhatsApp to allow me to send a message and update everyone at once. The updates very quickly turned into my sending long-winded messages about my feelings. Just over 2.5 years later, I just shut down the community – while initially it really helped me to process my thoughts, at a certain point (amongst a whole number of other things), I felt that I was no longer really processing my feelings and just trying to show that whatever was happening, I was still up-beat and doing okay. Anyway, sharing them all here…
