I am coming to the end of my journey and battle. Four years with ovarian 3C Cancer. Gene mutation and carbo resistant. While I'm healthy I want to enjoy the good as long as I can. Have big plans for my celebration of life while I'm alive and quality family time. Already I see the benefits of Hospice for my husband who needed support as well as me. This is a very loving support group. I've been blessed with the last four years and am looking forward to everyday going forward. I proudly lay down my sword knowing I gave it my all. And pray for engery and strength for all the warriors out there. Sending hugs and hope to all. My sincere thank you for all the love and support. π¦

Thank you for all the Love and support
Hi lovely,
You are an absolute inspiration, may you enjoy what time you have left ππππ
Do whatever makes you feel peaceful inside, Luvliving. Enjoy every little indulgence you can, savouring the moment and being thankful for the enjoyment it offers. The past is behind and finished and the future is not yet a reality, so only today matters. Make each one the best. This is what I have decided is my blueprint from now on. You are wonderful for what you are achieving and my heartfelt good wishes go out to you.

Beautifully expressed. Thank for your wisdom in this sad time.
Hugs,

It must be very hard to accept that no treatment is the best treatment for now. I am going on 5 years, also, and realize it's been 5 years of worry, stress, and hope mixed with fear. I feel having a plan such as you do to prepare for the inevitable must be somewhat calming and freeing. I wish you well. I wish you sunshine and joy as you traverse this journey. Enjoy every second and every minute of life. Hugs, Jill.
Thank you for sharing your situation and your wisdom with us. I pray you will be around a long time and enjoy the time you have left. My chemotherapies continually stop working so thank you for your inspiring mindset.
Dear friend,
You sound as though making this decision has given you great relief.
That is a good thing.
But I am a glass half full kind of woman.
I believe you just need a break from treatment. If you are not in pain and it is only the treatments that are giving you grief, let yourself enjoy the winter holiday season, build your strength up and then see how you feel in the new year.
There are still plenty of treatment options, clinical trials and the like..
Itβs not how we planned to live out our golden years, but maybe in the new year, you will want to dust that sword off and carve out another year or more.
But that will be in the New year.
Enjoy your new found peace now, but donβt close yourself off to possibilities in the future.
You are battle scarred and weary now, as so many of us are, but tomorrow is another day , the new year is around the corner.
Have a joyous holiday season.
Hugs,
Laura
Your chosen name for this site 'says it all'. Warmest and wholehearted thanks for sharing this with us.....as others say, an inspiration.
How beautifully you have expressed your feelings. I expect a number of us will tread the same path over varying degrees of time but it is good to know that we can come to terms with what will be inevitable and find inner peace. I wish you contentment and happiness in your remaining time and hope it is longer than you think. xxx
Beautifully worded--have not heard anyone say anything but positive things about Hospice and so good they don't forget about your spouse. I know they suffer too--more quietly usually. I hope you have good days and great experiences with those close to you. Sending hugs, support and respect. oxoxxo Judy
Live, love and laugh for as long as you possibly can lovely. We should all take inspiration from you and do this as much as we can every day.
I wish you joy and happiness with those you love and cherish. Spoil yourself and your nearest, make lots of happy memories, embrace your family but, most importantly, be peaceful.
I send you love and support. Big gentle hugs lovely lady β€οΈXx Jane
I agree with Laura- have a wonderful treatment- free Christmas and see how you feel in the new year. Being resistant to chemotherapy opens the door to phase one trials and probably others as well. New trials start all the time. I am platinum refactory and am on the Patriot trial and the treatment is nowhere near as harsh as chemotherapy. Wishing you the very best in wherever this takes you, Wendy
What a beautiful and touching post - thank you. You sound so full of life in your acceptance of the inevitable - what a beautiful, inspiring and peaceful place your seem to be in - thank you so much for sharing. I wish you huge joy, love, laughter and life as you go forward, Sundra xxx
Do whatever brings you comfort and peace Luvliving but can I just offer the Joe Tippens protocol? Iβm taking it and now so is my husband who was also diagnosed a week ago. It has shrunk tumours and although the NHS donβt prescribe it they arenβt all that surprised when I tell them weβre both taking the fenbendazole and also the How to Starve Cancer protocol by Jane McLelland. They were both given short times to live but years on are living well. Sending love

Wishing you peace and to be surrounded by love - live your best life while you can x
No words of wisdom, just love, hugs and my admiration x
Thank you for such lovely words. We all fight a good fight eventually we will all have to make decisions which are our own. God bless you on all your journeys. God speed. Liz
I admire your resolve and hope you have wonderful times while you can. Xo
Beautifully put. May every moment you have left be filled with love and peace xx
Wishing you the best and love and hugs

Thank you for your wise words. Whilst you have put down your sword ( temporarily) I hope, please , please donβt put down your pen (or keyboard in this case!) Lots of good wishes to you.
Wishing you the best holiday season. I agree that there comes a point that you just have to go 100% on what you feel you need to do for yourself. Enjoy your time and your family to the fullest!
I wish you a complaint free holiday season and if and when the end of the road comes, a painless conclusion to the life of a great woman. Bottoms up! I give you.. Luvliving! xx. Maus
