is happy to have had a good hair day for the first time in 3 years!  
About Me: Female, 38, Murray - KY, member since Oct 2005
Dx with Ovarian Cancer, stage IIIC on August 29, 2005.  Currently going through 1st recurrence, discovered during gallbladder surgery in April 2007.  Have had Taxol/Carboplatin, Topotecan, Gemzar, Gemzar/Navelbine, Femara, Gemzar/Taxotere, and Gemzar/Doxil.  I currently ... [More] have low grade cancer cells, so we're looking for a treatment that will work for that.  I am now on an aromatase inhibitor called Aromasin.  We're hoping it will stop the excess estrogen from feeding the cancer.  

Through this process, I also learned I have Crohn's disease.  Thankfully it is not completely active at the moment, but I am on a boatload of medication to keep it in check.  I get CT's every three months for the cancer, so my doctor is able to keep a good watch on how the Crohn's is progressing, as well.

I went to visit my local Oncologist (Dr. A) yesterday. It was rather funny, because it is obvious he finally realizes he won't be making my treatment choices anymore. He...[more]

Thank you for everything! And I hope that you know that you are always in my prayers also. This chemo has not been to awfully hard on me. Just like the others, fatigue is the worst. But I guess I should be getting used to that by now. Yes the happy feet is a pretty awesome thing. It was recommeded on another forum and I could not wait to share it here. I just hope that a lot of the girls will take advantage of it because it is a very nice thing for them to do. I got mine also right before I went up to see TC and they were a lot prettier than I thought they would be. So how are things going for you? Much better I hope. Please let me know. Love Chris
