      From JulierRae Yesterday

      Thanks for t he comment on my journal. I am proud of Nick's report card because school only gets harder and harder. We just have to work on a few things, like his handwriting and organizational skills. I do believe boys have it harder, but I too remember struggling at his age and getting better every year. I love his teachers this year!
      Tonight is family night. I think we are playing Yahtzee. That's a fun game. Our family got their flu shots today and the Church's Health Fair.
      I hope things ae going better with your job. Work is hard, esp sales. But I have faith in you. Just believe in yourself.
      hope all is well with you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Love and Hugs - Julie

    • Good Luck

      From IUPUI Yesterday

      Hi Anita, Your grandchildren's halloween pictures are adorable. What great costumes they had! I also never answered your question - I still have to have the next two chemo treatments even though my CA 125 is low. My worry right now is the hearing loss and whether it will get worse. Actually, I can deal with the hearing loss; it's the ringing in my ears that is the most bothersome. Of course, I want the cancer gone most of all. How are you doing with the job? I know you were sounding a bit discouraged. I hope things are going well now. Much love, Janet

    • Flower

      From JulierRae Thursday

      Anita, here are some flowers for you!! I hope they brighten your day! I finished my diningroom paperwork project. It was getting so bad we were running out of places to eat. Today on to the kitchen.
      I so enjoyed your pictures of Christian and Heidi in thier Halloween costumes. They are both doll babies. Enjoy them while they are young. They grow so fast.
      Nick made out with the candy. Bob took some to work to prevent a sugar rush and cavaties. I have been doing good, staying away from the candy as sugar is bad for cancer. Don't want to counter the good the Cytoxan and the Avastin are doing.
      Hope you are well and hope your job is okay. Love and Hugs - Julie

    • Ray of Sunshine

      From JulierRae Tuesday

      I am giving out sunshine because it a a sunshiny day here in Pittsburgh. That is a rarity here esp in Nov. It is still cold, like 50s but the sun is enough to cheer you. I hope all is well with you. Have a great day!! Love and Hugs - Julie

    • Chocolate

      From JulierRae October 30

      Anita, here is your trick-or-treat chocolate early. Christian and Heidi are going to be so cute in there costumes. Nick was in his schools harvest festival parade today and goes out tomorrow for trick-or-treating. He got his bag from his grandmother today after he got home from early dismissal at 1:10. It had lots of goodies! I got my blood test to see if I can continue with the low dose pill Cytoxan. I havent heard word yet. I hope your weather is better today. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! - Julie

    • Close Ovarian Cancer

      My actual diagnosis was primary peritineal Carcinoma Stage III. I had a hysterectomey 4 weeks ago. I start my chemo on the 18th. I am 61 years old with two grown children and one beautiful grandchild. I would love to hear from any who has had the same diagnosis and what your treatment was. I am not sure of the name of my chemo but I will have two portals. One intravenous and one in my stomach.

    • Close Diabetes Type 2

      I am 62 years old and I live in Spring TX, right outside of Houston. I have two grown children, both married and one grandchild. I was diagnosed with Type II Thirteen years ago. I became insulin dependent right away. I am on two types of insulin. Novolin N for long acting and the R on a sliding scale. At the end of July '07 I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer. The steroids they give me with my chemo play havoc with my bood sugar.

      Treatments

      Insulin (Regular and NPH) Working / Worked
      I like this regimin of using two types of insulin, because if I am too high I can take the R on a sliding scale and bring it down right away.
    • Open Health Care Reform

      I was diagnosed back in July 07 with ovarian cancer. I had company paid health insurance at the time, so everything was taken care of. Well now that I am through with chemo and ready to back to work they laid me off, saying that things had gotten very slow and they couldn't afford to pay me so they laid me off. My benifits had run out about two months before, so I had been paying cobra. My last payment to cobra was late so they cancelled me. Now I have no job and no health insurance.
