Speaking of dropping dead, if you are three years out, good for you!

I am 2 years out, and am going in for a pet scan because my CA-125 is edging up a bit. New second line treatments are yielding higher remission rates so no matter what I still have hope. I try to laugh alot even though my husband is humor impaired. If I do have a recurrence I might have to slip some prozac in his coffee…

Keep on blogging Spike, no matter what your co-workers or anyone else say.

My mom just had a hysterectomy at 59 because of uterine cancer. We were scared to death of the C word at first but we got over it quick because her operation went well and her bloodwork came back perfect so we’re hopeful for a cancer free rest of her life. I have to start having mammograms this coming year because I am turning 40. (gulp) I am scared to death to have one and yet I have no reason to be really. I guess it’s just fear of getting older. sigh. Good luck to you Spike and keep on posting. Even if you’re scared.

I am floating in the space of fear and anger and being alone. i thought a lot of things might have been hard but it’s nothing compared to this. to watching your friends recoil from hearing the word cancer. i have nursed my family through this horrible disease, one by one and here I go again. I am angry today too cause I am afraid.
