Hi everybody,

I'm pj, a fellow ovarian cancer fighter. I stumbled onto this website quite by accident yesterday and have been fascinated by all your stories. I finished my chemo in January and have been doing all I can do get my energy and vitality back. I live in Wisconsin and having the warm weather finally arrive has definetely helped my mood (along with everybody else).

If you don't mind I'd love to check in every once in awhile and see how everyone is doing. Your stories really are inspiring to hear and you all need to be commended for your spirit and strength.

Hope to "chat" again soon.

Paula

    hello paula
    I too am a survivor(breast cancer stage2) and my mom is currently battling ovarian. You look great. I'm proud of your completion of chemo. I just went into my garden and it is so soothing. I have lots of buds coming on. I got really into gardening about 2 yrs ago. wow it sure looks great this May. my peonies and iris's are gorgeous now.

    Hello Paula
    I am from the UK and it is just starting to get warm here. We have had a long cold winter. It is nice to welcome you here. I finished my treatment March 26th and am enjoying my hair on my head (eye lashes and brows included) growing back.

    Take care and hope to chat again soon Tina xx

    thank you
    Thanks for the warm welcome everybody. I'm really glad I found this website.

    It's weird because while I was recovering from my surgeries and going thru treatment I rarely sought out others online or looked for information on the internet on ovarian cancer. Now that I've finished chemo and am "coming up for air" so to speak I feel this need to connect with others in the same boat. Maybe it was my way of coping (just deal with what you've got immediately in front of you). Now I find myself comforted by reading and hearing about others' experiences and a willingness and desire to share my own story.

    It's another beautiful spring day in Wisconsin. The orioles arrived about 2 weeks ago and I've been keeping the grape jelly jar filled out on the bird feeder so I can watch them from my kitchen window.

    Be well everyone and have a great day.
