I'm not sure that we have that degree of specialisation in New Zealand. The population is too small.
My mother died from a rare cancer that wasn't actually in a reproductive organ, just loose in the abdomen.
She was diagnosed with fibroids initially because her smear test was clear, as it was outside the womb.
I always thought grief may have had something to do with her death too, as we thought she was clear after the initial surgery, but then my dad died of a heart attack and she died less than a year later.

I am so sorry about your mom. I know she would be proud of you for working to educate others like this.

I believe your mom would be very proud that you got on your soapbox. ;) Wonderful tribute to her memory.

Michele sent me. And I listned. Cancer is pretty previlant in my family and while I refuse to wait around for it, I am keeping my eyes open. I will remember your words of wisdom. Thank you.

My dad died from lung cancer. The things I could say to smokers...!

His birthday; my parent's anniversary... they all affect me. Thank you for being vulnerable today. I am sure your Mom would love the roses.

You quite likely saved somebody's life by posting this.

Your mom raised an amazing daughter, and for that we are all thankful.

2006-09-02T21:39:00.000-06:00

This was such a beautiful post. I lost my own mom three years ago and the days can be so hard. You pay a beautiful tribute to you mother with your words, and I know she's smiling now.

This is also an important post. Thank you for this incredibly vital information -- and I will keep it in mind both for myself and anyone else that may need it. You've done all of us a great service by mentioning it.

I hope your days are brighter knowing that you were both a wonderful daughter and a friend to many by passing this information on.

Stay on that soapbox and don't stop until people really hear you. Those odds suck, and they're terrifying. I heard you...if it happens, I will remember.

Hi from Michele's. Your mom would love your blog and especially today's. Through it you are doing a good service for all women. There's just got to be more we can do for early detection and treatment of this disease. Thanks.

2006-09-01T09:52:00.000-06:00

Good for you for speaking up on that soapbox! And you are precisely correct! A specialist in a particular field of oncology gives us the best chance of survival. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention and making them aware.
Happy Birthday to your mom.
I've spent over an hour here reading every single one of your posts...I was supposed to be vacuuming the house. But...reading this blog touched my soul in a way vacuuming couldn't. I'll be back to visit and look for updates. All the best to you.

I'm surprised that there's that big a difference between the two types of Gynocologists in outcome, Dee-Dee. Stands to reason that on average a specialist will be better though.

Holidays and birthdays are difficult after you lose someone. I hope that you're doing well now, Dee-Dee.

2006-09-01T07:56:00.000-06:00

Cancer of any sort is a scary thing -- we're losing my dad's longtime partner to cancer ... slowly and heartbreakingly. She is a wonderful woman, as I'm sure your mother was. Press on with the education -- it helps people more than you'll know!

Please do share your experience as much as possible... education is key.

Reading other people's experience would have helped me a great deal a couple of years ago...

Thanks for the information. My husband's mother died of ovarian cancer in 1993. Don't know if she had a gynecologic oncologist, but I would bet not.
