Hi there drlloyd0907,dropped by to tell you I will be in Fresno this week. Arriving on Tuesday so perhaps we can get together over a coffee on Wednesday or Thursday. Since we will be way up near Clovis you name the where that is convenient for you and we will let the GPS guide us.

Hi there lady. Yes, we both had that "oh no " moment about the same time. How are you doing? Imagine all your hair has grown back and your busy out and about. I am still going for every three month checkups and of course grow anxious at these times but otherwise things are good with me.

Hi lady,congrats on having a clear scan.you have had a rough go this past year but glad your past it. Sounds like you are receiving very good medical care and they are keeping a watchful eye on you. Just this past week I went in and was tested for the BRCA1 and 2 mutations. I only have one breast and ovarian cancer in my family tree that I know of but there are so many blanks , especially on my father's side of the family. If I am negative for the BRCA then have to decide if I want further genetic testing. It is wonderful the inroads in cancer treatments as a result of mapping the human genome. Will not be traveling to Fresno to visit my daughter this Christmas since the Weather Gringe calls for fog and possible sleet along the way, so we will have a Skype Christmas. So glad you connected with me. Have a wonderful holiday season. Look forward to talking more with you anytime.

Hi there and thanks for following me. You have an amazing smile!

Sounds like you are doin great! I have chest port - still in for blood work/tests... tho I finished chemo nearly 1 year ago - April 25th. I was Ovarian stage IIIC & Uterine 1B. Have been fine... and all side effects mostly gone - neuropathy etc,,, my Big toenails and eyelashes are still a little messed up tho! God Bless you!

Hi drlloyd0907, found myself diagnosed with IIIC ovarian cancer just five months ago and like you my world changed. Had chemo, debulking surgery,and am currently half way through my IP chemo. My family found this site for me and it has helped so much. Everyone on the site is fighting the same battle. Each has different experiences and information they share. Sometimes people share a funny picture or saying, laughter is a weapon too. We all care and are here to help anyway we can. So vent, ask questions or share your journey . Take care.

Have serous uterine. Found that 48 hours after chemo I felt awful. Neulasta gives me bone pain, neuropathy. Wonder if feet will ever feel just half way right again. All Claritin did was put me in a bad mood. Had 6th chemo yesterday (final). We pretty much share same treatments but you will find lots of people that share yours.

Hi
I live in Clovis ca. Have ovarian cancer & just beginning chemo treatments. Stage III a . Age 63. I go to St. Agnes cancer center. Hope you will keep in touch.

Hi drlloyd0907,
I see you are having IP/IV chemo...I have been on IV chemo three times a month since the first week of November...in April they will be putting the port in for. IP chemo. To be quite honest it scares me. How are you handling it?

forgot to mention, my daughter lives in fresh good smelling air Fresno also.

Welcome to What Next. I'm glad you found us, but sorry you had to. I just want you to know, I was DX on January 25th 2006 with Stage IV Ovarian.... On February 23 I'll be eight years cancer free. I did have chemo for almost two years... the GYN/Oncologist Surgeon removed a 39 lb. tumor of my right ovary and my left ovary then he removed all the cancer he could find. (I'd had a hysterectomy 20 years earlier...) It wasn't an easy path, but it was totally doable...

You have a very handsome young man in your arms in pic. He has a beautiful "Hugger".
