May I ask what chemo you are on?

My grandson referred to my scarves as my "do rags". Told me I needed a Harley one so I'd fit. I could be a biker babe.

Just a quick update for your encouragement. I just went for my 3 year follow-up after completing treatment. All is well, just waiting for ca-125 blood test. So, please be encouraged. I was stage IIIC when diagnosed and I didn't want to go through any of the treatment because I didn't think it had a chance of doing anything at such an advanced stage. So, hopefully, you will have many healthy years ahead of you. I worked with someone who had breast/ovarian cancer at the same time and she is cancer free 14 years later.

Picture of your children? Very cute. Are they helping you? My 15 year old grandson was a sweetie during chemo.

I took Vit B 12 and 6. Check with oncologist. Have Dr. check Vit D. Most on here take high dose of Vit D.

Please, what was your original stage/grade? You say spread, from where to where? Sorry for the blount questions. Welcome to the site, sorry for the reason but here we are. Judy
