I just thought I would say hello, and I hope you are having a good day. I have not been on this site long, but reading the stories and reading the symptoms I see the familiar pattern of ovarian cancer.

Thanks so much for your comment yesterday. Helps a ton. Hope the new system will fix this. Couple more weeks. Happy Saturday!
What an incredible new world we are in. I was diagnosed just about when you had surgery, now I am into second week of radiation. I tell you, we women are too quick to self diagnose as you and I both did that. Let’s make sure to suggest to our family and friends not to make the same error. Let’s keep talking, it seems to help me.
