    Some sad news

    Hello all,

    I've had some terrible news today. My mother has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which has spread to other parts of her body. The news has knocked me for a loop as I'm sure you can imagine.
    I'd like to take this opportunity to ask all the women on the board to please listen to your body. My mother, being a busy woman with a lot on her plate, just dismissed the bloating and dull aches in her belly as no big deal. But a little voice in her head told her that there could be more to it and eventually she went to the doctor. Sometimes that little voice inside all of us does know best.
    All good thoughts and wishes are greatly appreciated.
    Louise

    HUGS AND PRAYERS!

    Ovarian cancer has a bad rep - BUT MORE and MORE women are surviving it!

    I am praying that quick treatment will get your mom well in no time!

    Please take care of yourself, and hug your mom for me!

    Tell your Mom to stand up tall, and shake her fist and stare cancer directly in the eye and shout out loud "I dare you!!!" In my line of work, I do meet up with the odd cancer patient and if there is anything that I've learned it's that attitude is everything.

    Catty is right....there are many, many cancer survivors out there. I see you are in England. I don't know what you have over there but in the US and Canada the Cancer Society has plenty of resources available. One great program is called Cancer Connection and it matches up patients with survivors who have gone through the same thing. It's a very helpful program and it's offered free. There is also has a free Cancer Information Line where you can call to get answers to difficult questions. Your Mom and family can get through this with some help. I'm sure the doctor can refer you to some organizations.

    More prayers offered up from me. Please PM me if I can help, OK?
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I will pray for your mom. My neighbor beat ovarian cancer years and years ago and now she is fine. I hope your family has an outcome like that.
