Biography

Hello I am a one year ovarian cancer survivor.
I am 31 and have 2 dogs and no kids yet we are hoping to start a family next year .
I have to say one of the positives of the chemo is that I have great hair now !
I think it is imparative that a person have a great sense of humor while going through this crap .I have made alot of friends during all of this that I will never forget!
