Hey there,
I guess part of me doesn't want to admit just how nervous I am to meet the new gyn.oncologist tomorrow morning, and another does. Hence, I am going to put the latter feelings into a journal page.
What is especially crazy is that I just keep feeling better, physically, while I suppose I am in the midst of recurrence. This makes it easier to "pretend" to myself that nothing is differen...

I have my 2nd Transvaginal Ultrasound tomorrow at 3, and I am anxious to get it over with and know something. Like I said, this dr said he can tell me if it looks like cancer or not. I am thinking positive about all this. I go back to my Gyne-onlocogist next wed the 15th, to discuss, the results and surgery options...Hopefully it will all be good news, especially being that the 1...1 Recommendation4 Comments

I do tend to worry excessively about things sometimes. This time it's my work situation. I should be thankful that I am healthy enough to work and that I have a job that has very good medical benefits. I am thankful for all the wonderful things in my life. I am looking forward to the holidays - last year for Christmas I was in a rehab facility needing total nursing car...1 Recommendation3 Comments

Mother has really enjoyed her three weeks at home, but I am driving her to Atlanta on Tuesday for blood tests, and then the chemo will begin again on Thursday. Her oncologist had said she would have 6 treatments since she was cancer free after surgery, but now he has decided to do 9. We are hoping that he will change his mind and reduce them. What determines it? There was no trace of cancer follo...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Well, I had my 1st wobble last night.......not a huge surprise, but it kind of came out of the blue.
I now realise just how alone I am with this. I know I have you guys here but I mean in RL. I SO wanted someone to just cuddle me or hold me last night, let me cry and talk shit...someone to just be here. I found this very frightening, how the HELL am I going to get through the next 20 weeks a...1 Recommendation6 Comments -
The anxiety of the upcoming surgery is getting to me tonight. It's 12:15 and I couldn't sleep b/c I kept thinking of everything. My mom has had ovarian cancer since Oct. 08... she will have surgery on Tues., June 30. Her hospice nurse didn't sound optimistic... I pray for strength and healing for her. She spent a couple of nights with me this week and had gone ...2 Recommendations2 Comments

It has been a long time since I wrote anyone. My ovarian cancer has spread to my rectum and the doctor has given my about a year or two to live. I am currently taking Doxil but she talks about me taking topotecan when the tumor spreads. She is sure this is what will kill me. My rectum will shut down and then I will die. I am so unbelieveably depressed. During t...1 Recommendation8 Comments

Good Afternoon Everybody!! I went to get my blood and unrine tested for tomorrow's office visit and Avastin treatment at Sewickley Onocology. Also I had a PCP appointment with Dr James. He was happy that the dryness behind my ears cleared up with the cream. But he did say I have to be more careful about my diet for my Cholestrol is slightly elevated. Also continue with the iron pills he presc...1 Recommendation5 Comments
