On June 19th I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I had a tumor that was 15cm in size. The tumor was removed, but not before it ruptured. I now am facing chemo to ensure all is clean. This has not been easy so thought that talking about it with others would help me and maybe others. Please feel free to write about your experience and offer any suggestions you might have. I look forward to hearing from you.

Days 3, 4 and 5
Di woke up feeling ok on Wed. ,she woke up early and we went for an early morning swim. Later on she laid down to take a nap. After approximately a 3 hr nap she woke up and was feeling terrible. her body ached and as she decribed it it was like an intense flu ache. She maintained her appetite though. On Thur she woke up later than the last few days and was still feeling the flu aches, but added to that was stomach cramping and constipation. She slept most of the day on thursday only waking to eat. Friday she awoke and although the flu aches were less the stomach cramps had grown more intense. She was still constipated and very uncomfortable. Finally after talking to the dr. on fri afternoon , she got rid of the constipation. We believe the cramping was from the laxitives trying to work but the constipation being sooo strong. Hopefully she will wake feeling much better in the morning .

Brian, thanks so much for keeping us up to date when Di isn't up to her usual perky self. I don't wanna bug her when she isn't feeling well, but it's so nice to know how she is. Thanks for being there for her...and us! Love you all!
