    I am with Linda on the great news for you. I can just imagine how you felt when you heard it. What did you do to celebrate? I just gave you a high five from Oregon. I love news like this.

    I'm Turning Cartwheels
    I am in remission too! We start the new Year with Kayaks!

    When I had breast cancer I did the same thing with my oncologist. He only called me if my tumor markers showed a signficant that we needed to do something about. That way I didn't worry and had a better quality of life. I thought about doing that; actually I have changed to waiting for appts to hear. I really think the CA 125 worries us too much and saps our joy in our daily lives. When I had breast I looked at them later and they would go up and down. All that time I didn't worry. It is really something to think about and I applaud you for doing this!

    How strong we get from coping with this cancer. I had a vitreous bleed or a small retinal detachment they are watching closely. This didn't even phase me. The retina specialist says it is not from chemo but I think it is. Perhaps avastin but they use avastin to treat alot of eye problems. The ER Dr was young and though I had a mini stroke. I didn't think so but he said my age......I forgot I was getting so old. 59 Tuesday. My eye is improving though. I still think it was from the chemo.

    Joyous news for you Mary Ann! I am filled with hope!
    Love,
    Diane

    Happy for you too
    Maybe, just maybe this year is going to be good to us all. Glad to hear your news. Hugs to you from Oregon.
