We all know each other through this rotten disease.  I love being cheered up also.  My oncologist does have a stage iv patient that is 7 years out from first surgery and doing well.  She is a school teacher and is still teachiing.. You and I had our surgery just a couple days apart.. me 9/21 and you 9/24.  I hope you are feeling as well as I am.. stay in touch especially when you feel you need to talk.  This forum has the best posters in the entire internet....

Thanks for all of your good wishes. Being your  same old self takes on new meaning when you have Ovarian cancer. Helen I would love for you to catch me number wise... For all of us and I am telling Leslee too let us go into the new year with new hope... I sure do understand that every ache and pain from old age... makes me shudder.   But for today Thank goodness I am well... I am going to the states the first week in December for a couple of weeks to see the kids and grandkids... maybe I can grow some more hair by then.... All of you are the greatest.,.,. Ronni
