Unusual Ovarian cancer
I have an unusual case of ovarian cancer, as I have some lesions on my tummy. It first appeared some time ago, and I had been seeing a dermatologist and he didn't know what it was.

During my post-op visit, my doctor found a bit of blood during the rectal exam and wants me to get a precautionary colonoscopy. I'm sure many things could cause this, such as the constipation that…
Thanks
Bonnie and all at CSN- Thank you so much for all of your support. This was a long battle for Marty and in her last few months she was able to find comfort in the knowledge and friendships she developed here. She died late last night. In a way it is a blessing, but unfortunately, it doesn't help those she left down here.…

Sepsis is…
