Wendy,
Thank you for your nice message. I just feel I need to do more for this disease. I am so happy though that you are a four year survivor...that is wonderful!!!! What were your symptoms, etc.? Where are you from? Are you cancer free as of now? What did they do for you after you were diagnosed?
I wish that I had the money to start a foundation for PPC...it's a shame that it is just not looked at as much, especially since it is becoming more common.
My sister and I are going on Monday to see a hematologist/oncologist, because from what research I have seen, I have learned that there are 2 genes in your body that may put you at greater risk for developing PPC or ovarian cancer. We are meeting with this doctor to get further information and for his input on my mom's death/diagnosis.
I am so grateful that there are people like you who can lift spirits when needed......I am still so angry though and feel so cheated. I had a wonderful relationship with my mom (probably better than most mothers/daughters).....she was my life...and we had so much fun together. It's hard to accept it at all and it seems like each day is getting harder and not easier. I am on medication and see a therapist to help and that does...but it's hard to come to the realization that my mom is dead.
Thank you again!
Kelly
