They say it whispers.........

I've been reading up a lot on ovarian cancer. They say it whispers..... The symptoms are often so vague, that when the correct diagnosis is made, it is too late. I lost track of how many doctors mom went to. They would always send her on to another. No one could quite figure out what body system was causing her so much pain.

I went for my checkup today. I received a lecture because it had been two years since my last appointment. Thankfully my ovaries seem fine, thank you. Just some other odd things that need taken care of. I also got the name of a doctor who does genetic testing. Sis and I are going to contact her.

Mom seems to be getting stronger every day. It's really bothering her that she can't get around like she's used to. Remember- this is a woman who went to a gym and worked out three times a week just a few months ago... I have to keep reminding her what she's been through, and that it will take time.

Right now we're planning our Christmas party that we didn't get to have. It will be on New Year's Day. We'll finally get all of those wrapped presents out from under our tree! It will be wonderful to have everyone together......
