Worried That Your
Symptoms Might Be Ovarian Cancer?
(read on for my
story)
Forgive me for
the big bold headline, but I felt it was
important to get your
attention.
My name
is Tera and in 2006 I was
diagnosed with stage 2
ovarian cancer.
I am not
even sure I had ever given a
passing thought to this
disease, and I certainly had
no idea of the symptoms or
early warning signs of ovarian
cancer. I was in my early 40s
and this came (seemingly) out
of nowhere, so I would like to
try to help others to be aware
of what to look
for. As it turned out, I
had been having symptoms
for probably a year or two,
but I just pooh-poohed them,
thinking it
was nothing.
Thankfully,
I only had stage 2 and at this
time I have been in remission
for a year and a half (and
hopefully
forever).

While searching
for information, natural remedies,
help for insomnia, and just simply
ways to get my mind off my problems,
I found some great ideas that were
very helpful to me during this time,
and I would like to share
these with you
here.

If
you or someone you love is going
through chemotherapy or have
already gone through chemo,
surgery, or radiation, I've been
right there and I know how scary
this time is for you and also
your loved
ones.
You have probably been
searching all over the Internet,
reading books, and gathering as
much information as you can. I
totally understand how you feel.
I felt the same way when I was
going through chemo... I was
looking for all the help I could
get. I was so anxious, worried,
and upset, and I honestly felt
paralyzed by fear at some times.
I also could not sleep very well
at all. What I found is that
during this time I ran across
things that were extremely
helpful for me, and which I
hope will be helpful for you
also.
So for that reason I created this site
to help others going through the same
things. I'll be adding pages and
content periodically so please check
back often.
Whether you or someone you love has
been diagnosed with stage 2, stage 3,
or stage 4 ovarian cancer, there is
plenty of hope out there! And plenty of
people who will be willing to lend a
hand, just reach out to them,
especially while recovering from
surgery and/or going through
chemotherapy.
I
really hope you can find some
value in the pages
here.
Thank you, and I wish
you the best,
Tera
p.s. Don't forget
to check back to this site periodically
as I will update with any new
information I run across that might be
helpful.
