Chemo number three is on its way this week. Thursday will make it half way. I am happy about that, but it still means that there are three more to go. July still seems so far away.
I have been doing really well this past week. My hair is all gone and I am fine with that. I can go out with out a problem. I get some looks, but most people have been really nice, maybe nicer than they would have otherwise been.
I did do one thing that I should not have done. I went looking on line for an advocacy group for ovarian cancer. There aren't many. I found one in Philadelphia, but that is the closest one. That upset me. This is such a horrible disease that effects so many woman. You hardly ever hear about it on the news or in the media. Then I started reading about it at the national Ovarian Cancer Coalition. It is so scary. There are so many woman dieing from this. It is so frustrating. I feel so helpless and sad. There is no test for it, there is no real symptoms and there is nothing to do to prevent it. I feel like it is a crap shoot and I lost. I still don't understand how this whole thing happened. I am so sad.
Devin went to Prom this weekend. She was so beautiful and grown up. Life goes on and I am still learning to dance in the rain, some times it is hard.
Misho Please do not be SAD You did not lose the crap shoot!!! You found yours early Things could be much worse Like uncle Jack said you got a prognosis They got a sentence. I thank GOD every day that we are where we are, things could be so much worse. The glass is 1/2 FULL not 1/2 empty. LOVE YOU POP
