    Nope
    Other than this board/cancer center, I do not know anyone with OVCA. I know a lot of breast cancer survivors.
    Sad but interesting story: a woman where I work died last week of cancer. For the last three years she as been in and out of hospitals with what she said was leg and hip problems. Every one was led to believe that when she fell and broke her leg 3 years ago it just never healed properly and it required many surgeries. We found out she was in hospice care the week before she passed from cancer. I admire her strength to fight and to keep her physical and emotional pain a secret for three years. I cannot imagine being able to keep it secret for so long.
    Thinking of my teal sisters,
    Mary

    My cousin was diagnosed
    with ovca in 2001 but when they operated they supposedly didn't find much. She died a few weeks later from complications including a bowel obstruction. She had a lot of health problems in her lifetime. Stangely enough she had her thyroid removed in 1967 because it was cancerous.

    A while after my surgery my cousin called to say his wife had been diagnosed with ovca. She is stage one. She had surgery and now having chemo and is doing well except for normal chemo stuff.

    1 Person
    Good Morning Carlene,
    20 degrees, 12 inches of snow on the ground, and waiting for an ice storm. Wild and Wondeful West Virginia. The only person I knew before I was diagnosed, was my mother. She died 13 years ago at 53. Since I was diagnosed, I have only met 2 other people in my area. My oncologist says he only has 6 ladies that he has ever treated in the eastern panhandle. They are all currently NED, but 1. She is doing Avastin and is stable. I am the only Stage 2, he has ever had. Now , I do not live in a big city like you do and some of the girls may be going to Baltimore for treatment. Thank-You, Paula

    Wild and Wonderful WV.....
    My husband is from Oak Hill, a little speck on the map, just outside Beckley, which is a slightly larger speck. It is indeed "wild and wonderful" - more wild than wonderful this time of year. We go back every Labor Day weekend for my husband's high school reunion. I had never seen a WV winter until my mother-in-law died, Dec of 2009. Thanks, but no thanks.

    Carlene
