Hi "Birdie"...

Welcome to our site. Glad you found us. We're here for you anytime... day, night, and in between. Hope if your confused, tired, or just want to chat about this unique bond we share. We're here. Just post. I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in January of 2006. Stage IV. The Gynecologic Oncologist Surgeon here in MN did the debulking surgery, and removed all the cancer he could see. A 39 lb tumor (right ovary) and my left ovary (still healthy) Who needs those after the "Change".. I'd had a hysterectomy at 45..... anyway.. when I asked them to take the ovaries... they said.. no I was too young. Anyway. He removed all the cancer he could see from my intestines and eurethea. Then we slammed it with chemo both IC and IP for almost two years. Here I am now a great grand mother.... - Will be 70 next May... Life is good. Thought I'd give you the entire dump...Glad they caught yours early!
