Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you know that I will be leaving for Thailand next month. I have looked forward to this for several months. Only problem is I waited too long on getting the tickets. My brother was able to find...

Hi everyone!
I don't remember the last time I actually started a post here about my condition, but I will go back to the beginning of the year. I had just one more cycle of my last regimen left when the year started, but...

Hi everyone!
Sorry to fall so far behind on updating people on what is going on with me. I'm not sure when the last time I got in here was, but I've had some recent issues. I finished with chemo about two weeks ago or so and I...

I went in today for day 8 of cycle 4 on my topotecan treatments. My counts were good so the treatment went on! I asked the nurse about the results from last week's CA-125 test since I did not receive a call with the information. I...

I went in today for labs and chemo. My day started off bad because I set my alarm for 7:30 and didn't actually wake up all the way until after 8:30. I did make it to the clinic only about 20 minutes later than scheduled, but I...

I went in for my weekly labs and treatment this morning. The nurse left me hanging for about 15-20 minutes before she came and drew my blood. Then she sent the blood to the lab and I waited for what seemed like an eternity. About...

Hi everyone!
I'm not sure this has been brought up yet or not, but I will get on my soapbox for a few minutes. For those who know me, I am currently in treatment for a recurrence of ovarian cancer. The strange thing about my...

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to fill you in on the past week or so. Last week, I was not able to get a treatment because many counts were too low including platelets and hemoglobin. By yesterday my hemoglobin was down to 7.2 so...

Hi all!
I have been doing pretty well overall, but have had a few minor setbacks. I was not able to get a treatment this week because my platelet count was at 39,000 (needed to be at least 70,000 and normally is 100,000) and my...

It was actually about two weeks ago, but I wanted to wait until the new month started to start posting a lot again. I went to the humane society back in July looking for what pets were available planning to get a dog, but they...

I mean the discussions from mylot that were in my email folder. When I started today, I had about 1278 emails in my mylot folder and I went through and looked at over 60 of those, many of which had multiple discussions in them....

Hi everyone!!!
Even though I am still fighting with the swelling caused by fluid back-up that is a result of heart failure and using blood thinners to fight blood clots, my doctor started me on a new chemotherapy today. It is...

I didn't really know what to expect when Phillip called me to go to the regional airport to "welcome back" one of our fallen soldiers. I knew it would be something of a somber event since this was a young man, but I knew that we...

I guess I am posting this here because it is not so much cancer related but more a matter of life in general...
First off, I am not sure what the last thing I posted was so I will just go back to the last time I was in the...

Doesn't that sound ominous??? I will actually start with the good news I think. I was told my CA125 was down to 40 so the cancer front looks good. Unfortunately, when they did the CT scan, it showed blood clots in my lungs. I'm...

For those of you who know me, you might or might not know how much of a "bleeding heart" I am for what I consider to be a good "sob" story. When I was still living in the motel last year, I got to know one family that was living...

As many of you may know, I have been in the hospital for the last several days. I found out Thursday that I had c-diff so every time the nurses came in the had to have gown and gloves on. Yesterday they did both a CT and a CA-125....
