Aren’t I lucky

I’m here 11 1/2 years on and doing loads with my life , paddle boarding, hot air balloon, dancing till 1am ( knees regretting that one a bit) and raising funds for my fourth trip to teach midwifery in Uganda .

Ladies please appreciate each day we are given as hard as they seem, do everything you can, and gather memories for when you can’t , make it happen

Sooooo glad I’m still alive

Hi Kayp, this is so good to hear!Can I ask whether you just had OC once or if you've been in and out of treatment over the 11 years?

Love it! Do you have visible cancer on CT that you are living with? I suspect a purpose in life is better than any drug to keep cancer at bay. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Kayp,

You are living life. My daughter is a midwife and my husband was in Uganda on his motorbike when I was first unwell. So your work reasonates with me.

Do you have a fund raising page?

I am trying to pack a suitcase this morning. Always a challenge but a nice problem to have!

Stay well and good luck on the fundraising.

18 years here - diagnosed April 2006, completed chemo November 2006, NED ever since, stage Ic ovarian with a side of endometrial. And my mum was a 28 year survivor. Don't look at the statistics, you are an individual, not a statistic!

me too Kayp! It’s been 17 years since OVCA diagnosis. Some recurrences along the way, but I’ve been fortunate to keep knocking it back! Prayers to you and all our Sisters out there! ❤️🙏

Thank you for this and to everyone else sharing positive stories. As someone diagnosed in the last few months (luckily early but still completely traumatised and terrified by it all) it gives us the much needed hope. 😍
