    Sorry....I cut and pasted
    Sorry....I cut and pasted from her profile, which she has not updated since 2007.

    Here is the updated version...in her own words...

    I have stage IV OC. I was diagnosed in 2005 and had
    surgery,chemo and went into remission for a year and
    a half. Then in 2007, it came back. I have been receiving chemo on and off since then with small
    breaks in between. I has been challenging I will not
    lie. But I have come to terms with it and have found
    some peace with the illness. I realize I may need
    treatment the rest of my life. I feel God's presence
    in my life and he carries me thru alot. My anxiety
    has lessened and I feel happy moments frequently.
    If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
