Hi Donna, In August 2015 I was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer ...i had a tumor on both ovaries and was in surgery 2 weeks later having a radical hysterectomy...I remember feeling very depressed during the recovery stage and then 3 weeks later my surgeon told me i would have to undergo 6 mnths of chemo as one of the ovarian sacks holding the cancer had split which may have released cancer cells. I too have a long scar which has changed the way i look but 3 yrs on i have learned to live with that and feel so grateful to be still here. It took a very long time to get over the whole ordeal and in the process i took early retirement after 29 yrs in the same job. I still have days that overwelm me but most of the time i am positive (which i was constantly told by the hospital staff was so helpful towards my recovery physically and mentally) I never wanted children and so i didnt really feel affected by the hysterectomy...i just felt lonely but i do have a loving family and great friends and with thier constant support i now feel on top of the world. I hope in time you will too! cassie.
