Well I was diagnoised in Jan 09 the PPC. I finished 8 cycles of chemo on Sept 10th. My CA125 was 11 my PET/CT came back that everything was gone. I was even told that I was cancer FREE in April. Then Oct 26th I had another surgery that found I still had cancer which was removed. Then Jan 10 I receive a PET/CT and a CT and all is clear. I only have to start taking Tamoxifen for the rest of my life. I know do not have to see the doctor for three months.

I do not know what to do next. I want to start my life again, but I am afraid to do so. I want to start my massage therapy business again, but afraid too. I want to start getting ready to adopt a child, but afraid that in six months when they are going well I will get the news that I have to do chemo again and have to put everythig on hold again.

Has anyone gone throu this?
