Hello dear friend, I am about at the end of my energy today...so this will be brief. Today we had our phone/dSL/ andHD t.v. installed. Lazy and unpacking bags, that sort of stuff.
Took Buckky out to the Lania and he say a tiny little newt and jumped up and rand the other way. Teddy can take long walks, but he seems to enoy the new digs.
The home is all strarkly...quite like a moddel home. I like most of the decorations as they are...but we will personize it other time. Yesertady was truly exchausting, bit. We did survive withoout any meanspiritedness. My SIL had a nice dinner waiting for us. Sooooooo now. Look forward to more explaoring.

Close Ovarian Cancer
Diagnosed with ovarian cancer end of 2000. After two ops and carboplatin, plus six years behind me, I thought I was over it. A few months ago a CA125 test showed something was wrong. 3C and am due to start chemo 17th Dec 07. I had the final chemo 9th July.. CA125 wavering between 70's and 90's.. Not the best result from so much treatment.. but could be worse.. Am now on Doxil..
Treatments
- Carboplatin Working / Worked
- I was never really sure if the carboplatin was effective or whether the operation would have been enough on it's own. I felt sick and increasingly more tired with each dose and needed three pints of white cells towards the end of the course. Food passed straight through me. Fingers went numb and the joints would lock. My eye sight deteriorated. My ears kept ringing. These symptoms have since disappeared. I was free of cancer for six years. Have started 2nd chemo Carboplatin/Paclitaxel
- Chemotherapy Working / Worked
- Paclitaxel.. told this would be tough, but so far haveing more probs with the Carboplatin as have built up a resistance since 7 years ago.. moderate allergic reactions.. which we are trying to overcome.. It all seems easier to tolerate this time.. beleive it's as I'm not so stressed this time and not recovering from surgery.. CA125 coming down steadily
- Laughter Working / Worked
- Promised myself to have a belly aching laugh every day during the worst of it. This sometimes involved finding funny things on the t.v. when nothing else was available. Kept my spirits up.
Close Chemotherapy
I've recently been diagnosed with a recurrence of ovarian cancer, stage 3C, after being clear for six years. I had carboplatin the first time around and am trying to decide which option is best to go for this time.
Open Health Care Reform
Can't bare the things I am discovering about the American health system.. unheard of in other civilized countries.. and am interested to learn more..
Open The Financial Crisis
I'm from the Uk and recently visited the US for the first time and met some of my friends on here. Uk is also experiencing a financial crisis and I believe we all have more in common than not. I love sharing opinions on what is going on..
