I am curious about reoccurance of OvCa. Do you get the same symtoms you did the first time? I am not having any, but I was just wondering what to watch for just in case.

The oncologists don't hold this check list... but we do between us.. Mine recurred in my lymph nodes and I did not experience any unusual colds or infections.. Before my first OC I used to boast how I hadn't had so much as a common cold for several years.. I now believe that my immune system was all fired up fighting this budding disease.. so that simple ailments bounced off me, where others were falling.. I got back to having normal colds and such innocent stuff of life after my successful treatment and felt reassured by that.. I noticed I wasn't getting colds again before the recurrence.. Most of all I noticed that I wasn't able to cope with stress as well as I usually can.. and I used to believe I could thrive on it.. My energy levels were being taxed and the physical body will take what it needs first... whilst the spirit struggles and flags. I thought, the first time, that this was due to getting older.. I felt twenty years younger after the initial op. and will not be fooling myself again.. BlueButterfly is a stage three survivor of twenty years... and so fabulous to have around.. may we all do so well xxx

I too used to boast about not getting colds. I still have not had a cold. That is very thought provoking

Thinking about it today.. I did nave a lingering cold before my chemo.. but I did delay my treatment.. I was diagnosed before the cold symptoms.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
