I found out a couple of days ago that my neighbor's cancer had spread more than they were hoping. She had her surgery and was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer - just one step better than my diagnosis. They were hoping that it hadn't spread that much... I went to the hospital today to visit with her. This whole experience has been bringing back a lot of memories and emotions from almost 4 years ago. I can't believe that it has been that long! They also found out that she does not have the BRCA-1 mutation - which surprised everyone. That will make her experience and treatment a little different than mine was. She will meet with her oncologist next week to decide on a chemo treatment schedule. (I will only give brief updates here about my neighbor because I don't want to share too much of what is her story.)

My CA-125 number this week was back down to 11.

My husband left for scout camp yesterday and M&M and Blondie left for YW camp this morning.

Today is Blondie's 12th birthday - my 3rd child! They are growing up too quickly!

Everything went fine with my appointment today. My scans looked good once again. Today is the surgery date for my neighbor - hoping for the best for her.

I had another scan today. Things were uneventful with the scan once again.
