    Thank you everyone...

    Yes I have done a few things different.  I had stage 3 ovarin cancer and stage 2 uterine cancer.  I first quit smoking as soon as I found out it was cancer.  I join a study from Yale University and walked 30 minutes a day for 6 months.  I never changed anything with my diet until last year.. I decided when I watched a show called "Food Matters" on Netflix.  I have started to juice and buy Organtic and whole foods.  I feel amazing and healther than I've felt in a long time.  

    however, I still remember very well what I felt like the first two years after chemo.. that was tough.  I pray for all you and hope you will dance with NED forever.
