'Here's chemobrain for you, I can't remember if I've posted this link of or not. Thanks everyone for your kind and supportive comments. Hugs.

I go by #Servivorgirl. Celebrating almost 14 years since diagnosis of stage IIIC ovarian cancer, recently restaged to IVB. My blog is called Nobody Has Ovarian Cancer because I felt like a nobody upon the eventual correct diagnosis. Being told multiple times that I was too young to have ovarian cancer, I did not receive the proper testing. I am so grateful to Him for all those who allow me to share my love, to those who love me and those who treat my illness. I praise Him always.

Nightmares
I can't understand it, but for the past three nights in a row I have been having nightmares. As I sit here and type, I can visualize last nights epic adventure into mayhem. It was just awful, terrors in a church, and I lived in the church, a little cute cottage attached off to the side. Hundreds of people were trying to help me escape the attacks and I was ridden of all my posessions.
Maybe this is a sign. I have nothing to really speak of, a car, a computer, a few clothes, a TV and an exercise machine. What I actually have is the Grace of God's beauty all around me, my loving family and friends. My compassionate doctors and nurses. The neighborhood kitty that likes to say hello.
I don't really want for what I don't have except to say that what I have is what I want.
All I know is that my dream literally scared me to surrender everything.
Maybe tonight I will dream about puppies! HA
Love to all

Blocking rogue gene could stop spread of cancer, new research suggests
Here's some interesting research. One day I hope to see an article that says "we know why you have cancer and here's how to prevent it". Until then, this will be a great start.

Moments go by and off we go
RIP to my dear cancer sister, Daria Maluta. You were a brave and articulate compassionate soul, striving to help all your cancer sisters. Just a few weeks ago you were set to participate in a new clinical trial and suddenly things changed. You had so much grace, and worked so hard to tell us how you lived. You really cared about everyone around you................
I am deeply saddened by the loss of another sister to cancer. "Why" will never be answered.
All we can do is all we can do, to breathe love in and out and around to those we love.
My precious sister and I spent some time last night just talking over coffee while her kids were at karate practice. It felt so incredible to just talk and share and see her smile. I pray every day for God to grant my family the ability to share joy with each other and others in the world.
God Bless you all.
Love,
Denise
