UPDATE on my Mom - 9 Months Post Diagnosis

[Lind58]

I just want to thank you ladies once again for your continued support. Today marks 9 months since that awful day we got the horrible news that my mom had cancer. It seemed unimaginable a bouncy, bubbly, overly active, healthy appearing lady had late stage cancer. We have always been so close and as everyone always says we never expected this. My mom was 62 at the time and we were in the middle of wedding planning for me. Between dress shopping, food tastings something was just not right and this was it. Over the last 9 months so much has happened - My mom has shown strength I never thought she was capable of, we have laughed together, cried together and continued to be the best of friends. This journey has truly been heart breaking, life changing and I would not wish this on my worst enemy. From seeing the women I love more than anything in this world suffer so much but to rise to the occasion. Today she had her post chemo scan, and ca125 test and all seems good. Her oncologist seems very pleased, her last nodule is still visible but she said it appears to be scar tissue. She wished her the best and said see you in 3 Months. My mom is cleared to go back to work - her job she loves just so very much as a nurse practitioner. I can only hope and pray my mom can continue to live her life, be strong and put this ugly disease behind us. I am in no way ignorant and understand reoccurance etc. Just praying and putting all my trust in my faith which has always been my strength in my darkest hours.

We spent he weekend in Newport, RI as a gift to my mom and dad for their thirty-fifth wedding anniversary celebrating as a family. So happy to see her enjoy and check out for a minute! We are so blessed to have one another, and I can only pray this continues.

She is doing a few holistic options, interested to know if anyone has any recommendations.

Thank you to all the virtual teal ladies who have continued to be my biggest strength during this time. My sister and I are putting all our thoughts in finding ways to raise funding for ovarian cancer, will keep you updated.

Give her a pat on the back from me! It’s no picnic having treatment and all that comes with it so I hope she has a great time now that everything is finished xx

Hi Lind,

What a lovely post. Well Done to your Mum!

She will be in demand at her NP job...but she needs to find enough time to build strength & also to relax & enjoy her family & friends & life in general.

Very best wishes to you all.

Your fund raising ideas sound great, keep us informed.

Linda xx 🤸‍♂️💃🥂🎉
