Why I Am Here

I never went through Chemo but after fine needle aspiration (in Aug of 2000) of an ovarian cyst during a Lap, I was Dx. positive for malignant cells consistent with Papillary Adenocarcinoma. It was confimed during a subseqent hysterectomy that the cyst was epithelial in origin for the cells and excluded origin of a corpus luteum cyst. However, during the hysterectomy (Sept. 2000) no additional cancer was found, and so even though the surgery was warranted, I was left Without a final Dx.of Ovarian Cancer.
I am not sure why this all happened. But, it is one reason I found this site (MedHelp) back in 2004 was because I wanted to belong to a group of people who "got it".... I needed a safe place to process what happened to me... the "could have beens" and the advocacy I try to promote to all regarding their health care (I know this is easier said than done at times, too...). I also stay because I luckily found an awesome way of getting rid of surgical adhesions that just involves rolling a little ball (I know... I know...Health Pages.... I promise :)) and then there is the occasional hormonal comment from me....

Dear Angel,
You are here b/c you have a helping and loving spirit and want to pass along all and I mean ALL of your wonderful and useful information! And, you are such a funny and kind person and getting to know you has shown me this.
I understand your question, though. I have asked the same of myself. I come back to support those who took time out of their lives to calm me and get me thought the horrid "limbo" land of wait and see. And, I've met some pretty awesome people, like you, and that makes me just want to talk with them and support them. I consider them (you) a friend.
Mary, you have a gift which is helping those who need direction and information. Some of us, well ME, are challenged in the research department...note I did not say lazy! LOL I know I cannot speak for everyone but I'm betting that there have been MORE women than you will ever know who have benefited by your countless hours of research.
Hey...I don't call you The Angelic Righter Of Hormones for nothing!
Love and ((hugs))

I agree with Tascha. You should write a book.
Love ya, Paula

Mary, you are one of the kindest women I have ever met. You have so much knowledge and you really care about women on this forum. I am so glad that I had you on my side when I went to battle to get bio HRT. Remember, I told the doctor "Because Mary said so, and she knows what she is talking about!!" I agree with everyone else, You should write a book. I would be first in line to buy it. Thank you for all that you do for us. You are awesome. Love you so much, Kasie
I have benefitted from your advice on hormones and adhesions and even pass it along to others outside this community. So you are a published writer and didn't even know it! Thank you so much for being there.
