Ovarian Cancer at Bay but Fight is Never Over

NOCC Illinois Walk May 2019

A couple of pieces of good news to share - mom had her regular check up with Dr. Porubcin last week and her blood work was very good and her CA 125 was at 7!

Even better news: Dr. Porubcin gave the go-ahead for mom to have the port removed! She is getting the port out on August 20.

Mom's story keeps getting better and better!

I wrote a piece for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's web site after we did the NOCC's annual walk in Chicago last May.

This does not come without a lot of sadness however because we lost one of our own to ovarian cancer last year. I think about my cousin Heather just about every day. Her cancer was really far along before she was diagnosed and for a while things seemed ok but eventually her body caved in. Her spirit never did however. 

So I can talk about having all the hope and praying that I want to, but it doesn’t erase the underlying fact that Ovarian cancer is a very silent disease, and every woman and man should know the signs and symptoms and be aware. 

I’m a  firm believer that whatever energy you put out an universe will come back at you tenfold, whether it’s good energy, or bad energy. Let’s make it good energy. There are others out there fighting their cancer and they need a lot of prayers.
