Newlifegal - Good luck to you. Sorry to hear of your's and everyone elses troubles. I do feel for everyone I just lost my mom Oct. 9th to Uterancancer in the lungs and pretty much her whole body. She fought it for 5+ years. Then a month later found out I had an ovarian cyst that was 17cm and a small fibroid. Thank God so far it's not cancerous as far as I know. Really and honestly good luck to anyone and everyone going through this yourselves or with someone else. my prayers are with each and everyone of you.
Helen, Great news!!!! What a great holiday present!!!!!

freshair, I'm so glad to hear your good news. What a wonderful Christmas present!
Actually, no one really knows why my cancer metastized to my brain. I did have stage IIIc which means my cancer was fairly well spread but the strange thing about it was that my ca125 did not reflect any problem while these tumors were growing. It remained at 12 so now we feel we can't rely on that number to check the status of the cancer. Yesterday I had a pelvic CT scan to see where we are at. I've come of a hefty dose of steroids and still feel distended. Also have little appetite so based on these symptoms, we decided to go ahead and do the scan. I'm praying nothing shows up.
I don't have a brain MRI unitl next month. Also hoping the gamma knife did the job and took care of those lesions.
That's great news and I know you are relieved. Maybe you can relax a bit, if that's possible, and get on with the New Year.
Happy Holiday,
Shawn
