Well today I had my vac therapy removed, my last wound opening is now under 1cm and I am trying out a normal dressing!! Feels very strange not carrying my battery pack around.
Next stop will be to finally see my new scarred stomach -it has been covered up now for 5 months!! Plus they removed my belly button during surgery so wondering how that will look! However ,
They are my war wounds and I will learn to love them
Base line CT Sunday and results within a few weeks, CA125 Tuesday, which was still 139 when last checked 😔
Got my cape just in case needed but am praying for some remission time.
Virtual hugs and strength my friends xx

Love the quote and I can just imagine you sayin it. Thrilled that your wound is gradually healing and you are coming to terms with life without belly button.Mine is protruding due to a hernia . I hope the CT scan results are good and you get into a long remission Cheers Chris
if anyone needs a bit of remission it is you Jess! You have stoically gone through the past God knows how many months, dealing with not only your own issues, but having to watch your son go through his. I really hope that now, you get some good news, and some breathing space. Whilst this is great, it may also bring up certain emotions, it certainly did for me after my chemo came to an end, and is fairly common I think. If so, you know where we are if you need a lift of any kind.
Love hearing your updates, and wishing you the very best in the next stage of your journey.
Jess, the 'new' normal has arrived quicker than expected. Am still at the beginning of my 'reading' and still on the first book of about 10, but my insight increases all the time. Think my holiday definitely helped me find the balance I was seeking albeit it's still a rollercoaster ride as you know xxx
I'm so glad for you as you've had such a hard time. I admire you so much and the tone of your post also sums up what a great woman you are. Brilliant ❤
All the best wishes for good results. Wouldn't worry too much about the missing belly button, unless of course you fancy wearing a skimpy bikini. Hope your son is still doing well.
Love the quote! Hope you get the remission you so deserve and that your son is doing well. You've both been through so much and deserve a break. Big hugs, Kathy xx
Just had confirmation of first line NED. Feeling grateful and scared, but trying to get out and enjoy life. Yes hope you will be able to do the same with your son xx
