latest ultrasoundViews: 434

hello to all on january 5th i had my four month ultrasound .
I have another cyst but am told that because I am not on hormones that will happen .I got to spend time with my chemo buddy we had a great day . She was there for me yet again during my ultrasound I told her we have been through enough together that she could stay for the ultrasound .After we went shopping and ate at the cheese cake factory . AWSOME!We then went back to the chemo center and saw the nurses that took care of us .I still get nervous when I get to that floor of the hospital I wonder if that will ever go away?
It was nice to visit them but sad to see the room filled with women getting treatment .
Today I went to the get hooked on health fair in st. louis and met some people from the national ovarin cancer coalition I as standing there telling these people how glad I was to see them there and told them My story and started to cry I couldnt help it I felt sooo stupid . Then a woman came up and asked them some questions and I told her my story I hope that she does what I told her to do and finds a new gyn dr to take her seriously. I told her to be her own advocate and trust her instincts. I believe I am here today because I trusted mine.
I will have a follow up appt with my oncologist on the 26th of january and will post an update after that .I hope all is well with everyone and thanks for the compliments on the new hair !
