Cancer Chat

Cancer Chat Day

Well today is cancer chat day.  Once a week I go online and talk to other women that have ovarian cancer. I think it’s supposed to be helpful, therapeutic and a source of information, and often it is.  Other times it is just simply sad when you find yourself carrying the pain of others.

There are women in every stage with some just beginning, others in the middle while a few are nearing the end where they are making major decisions, such as am I sufficiently mobile or well enough to stay at home? Or is it time for me to move into a hospice facility?

I must admit that sometimes I find it depressing.  It feels as though each of is is on death row.  We’re in the appeals process but running out of appeals.   At some point they’re going to say there’s nothing more they can do. You don’t know exactly when that’s going to take place, but you know it’s coming and you're scared it will be sooner than later.

Sometimes it’s hard to smell the roses…..
