Cancer statistics, 2012 - Siegel - 2012 - CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians - Wiley Online Library

When will we stop patronizing the tobacco companies? Here is a new report on Cancer statistics, for those of you who like this kind of stuff. I don't like to look at statistics, because I don't want to be one. None the less, I am one, so I need to at least keep myself informed. No statistic has the power to rule your will and your love for live.

What I see here is that sadly, lung cancer still tops the list as the leading cause of cancer death.

Regarding ovarian cancer, it is commonly believed that our "new cases" stat is lower than what actually is true because it is still usually detected at later stages. So if all the early stage cases were found, we'd probably have more cases but also more survivors!!!!!

Peace,

Denise

Resources for our teal sisters, can you help?

I am a proud member of the Inspire.com community, a resource that brings people together.  Our ovarian group is in need of information about all resources that could help some of our sisters in need.  Although most of our sisters have loving family to support them or help during this crisis, many do not.  I was so blessed to have my family help me and cannot image going through this alone.


If you know of anything, local or otherwise, please send me information and I can give it to the group.


The hard part about using resources is first locating them, organizing them and then all the paperwork to apply for help.  Many ladies are in need.  We can do more.


Thank you followers...................

Happy New Year

I am listening quietly to the fireworks off in the distance.  I have no other noise in the background and it's so peaceful.  It is 12:47 am on January 1, 2012.  WOW

I think about you all the time, my loyal followers, who keep an interest in my progress.  I am so humbled.

You can survive ovarian cancer.  

What I had learned this past 2011 was that we need to push beyond our comfort zone, even when it hurts and even when we don't agree, because we must keep moving forward.  We must never stop moving forward. 

Never ever ever.

2011 was a very challenging year because this was the year that I had to move beyond the "cuddle zone" and get my life started again.  The physical pains, cognitive voids and emotional fears and hot zones are here to stay, but my love for God and my family grows stronger every day.

I have total and complete faith that what is, is as it should be.  I am here in this spot at this time.  For now.

I never would have made it through my valleys if I had been denied somehow the honor of having my blogger family support.  You are my link to share my innermost feelings, fears, joys and hopes.  My heart is filled with joy.

Thank you for your loyalty and care.

May God bring you deep joy, prosperity and health in 2012.

Keep your faith and grab onto hope with all your might.

Love, 

Denise
