EVERYBODY PLEASE READ

[Jan214]

I have been toying with the idea of starting a registry among us so that in the event that one of our "sisters" needs someone to be with them IRL we will have a list of people we can call in their city.  Most of us remember our little friend in CA who could have used a lot of support and at the last minute we were scambling around trying to find someone to help her.  Now there are other women who are having to face this alone or pretty much alone and that should not be the case.  We are so loving and supportive on this forum, I don't see why we should not carry that over into RL.  I have thought of several good and safe ways this could be done so now I just want to know if you all would be willing to participate.  If the response is enough I will post my ideas on how it could be done and I would like your input as well.  I am an organizer by nature and usually pretty good at getting people to come together for a good cause.  We are always looking for ways to help the cause of OVCA and being there for one of our own is a great way to start.  Thanks
Love,
Jan

Hi Jan. I updated my profile and hope that enables you and others to e-mail me. This is my first time joining a forum and am not entirely sure how to access information, but I hope that what I posted on my profile helps. Thanks.

I just wanted to wish everyone here a very merry christmas and holiday, you have all been such a help to me and each other. This forum has kept me sane since I am still waiting on a final diagnosis. I will be thinking about you all today and hope that you are all doing well and trying your best to have a great day. I know I am for my kids, I'm still having a hard time but they wont see it, first year without their dad and they don't know I may be sick...but I will keep the sad and negative thoughts out of my mind today...we should all try to do that for our families and friends. If anyone here needs anything, please let me know...Jan, if you need any help with any of the lists, just let me know..I am a techie, work in IT..
Hope those of you up north are keeping warm today, we had a very warm Christmas this year, it's about 80 degrees today.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
Hillary

Good Morning and Merry Christmas,

Well, we are going to try and drive to the folks this morning as I was to sick to drive yesterday.  Just wanted to let you all know I think you are wonderful for jumping on this so quickly.  For those of you still in the black...monserrat7, JenY, AliceZan would you please put something in your profile so that you can receive emails.  Even if you just go in and check the female box, which we already know about you ( HA HA ) than you will be able to receive private, safe emails through this site.  When I get back in a few days I am going to get the list done and if we can't communicate with you privately then it will be a problem getting you info.  We can't put info like what hospital someone is in or cell phone #'s on these common posts as you all know some of the problems we have had.  
I hope you all have a blessed day.
Love,
Jan

As a single mom in California facing the unknown and not knowing how to deal with a possible OVCA on my own, I would be more than willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in California needing support. Please count me in. My sister in law died of OVCA 6 months after being diagnosed and I'm still deeply affected by this. Let us know what you have in mind. May you all have a blessed weekend.
