The Emotional Toll an Ovarian Cancer Diagnosis Brings & How to Overcome It Together as a Family
My cancer story begins after a long walk around my neighborhood in 2012 when I noticed I had terrible pain in my leg.
Many doctors’ appointments and CT scans later, I learned that I had ovarian cancer.
It took many appointments with many doctors to develop the treatment plan that was right for me. But, I was so lucky that I had a great relationship with my oncologist -- she made me feel so comfortable.
After a few appointments, my doctor suggested genetic counseling. My daughter, son and I went to the appointment and tests revealed that I was indeed carrying the BRCA mutation which explained some family history of cancer. After reading up on ovarian cancer, I realized I had all of the symptoms.
Not surprisingly, my daughter’s tests also came back positive for the BRCA mutation.

Cancer Doesn’t Have to Mean the End: It Can Also Be a New Beginning
There’s no question that receiving an ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2012 made me terrified, especially venturing into the great unknown of surgery and chemo.
But, even after treatment and stabilization, another kind of fear set in: Being cut loose by my medical team and thrust back (without a net) into my “normal” life.
How could my life ever be normal again...at least how I once defined normal?

7 Ways to Care for a Friend through Her Ovarian Cancer Experience
Ovarian cancer. It’s not what any woman wants to hear as their diagnosis.
Because of its subtle symptoms and less than favorable (but climbing) survival rates, being told you have ovarian cancer can immediately feel hopeless.
For those of us as who are care partners, the desire to help can only be matched by our frustrations of not being able to cure or “fix” our loved ones. We may feel less than productive. Even though we can’t wave a magic wand and fix what hurts those we love, there are incredibly positive and powerful ways we can give back and aid them, even throughout the darkest moments.
After my best friend received her diagnosis of ovarian cancer, she told me of the many gestures and acts of kindness from friends, coworkers, and neighbors that helped her the most. I’m blessed she shared them with me as it helped me better understand the most effective and positive ways to better care for her as well as others diagnosed with cancer after she was.
