Ovarian Cancer @ MindSay 
cancer
If you do, or if you dont...... I'd appreciate some good "prayers, thoughts, vibes" whatever you can send..... this way. My mother is a 20 year cancer survivor, ovarian cancer. She's been to the doctor and they've found an "undefinable density" over her heart, in the left breast and into her lung.
I'm not the most "holy" person alive, but I believe in the power of prayer.... and I'm asking for help.
Thank you,
Missi...... aka da bunz.... aka, da mamma bunz daughter.
*sigh*
** I thought about keeping this private...but I feel it is better to openly grieve then hide it away...
Awhile back I posted about my Great Aunt....and she has passed away as of last night.
I really truly cannot bring to words that amount of love I had for this wonderful woman...I will always remember the times over her house when I was little, and how she would always make my stay so memorable each and every visit....she was kind, loving, always thinking of others over herself...
She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, the first time around....which then spread to all her reproductive organs, so she had to have a hysterectomy about five years ago....then cervical cancer and clitoral cancer...so she was left de-womanized...I remember her saying she no longer felt like a lady, but that didn't stop her...she went about her daily life with her chin held high...
Then about two years ago, she was struck with breast cancer, and had to have them both removed and she had to wear special bras....as time went on, her body deteriorated, but the person on the inside was always the same...that I will never forget about her...I remember when she came to our house for christmas, and she brought me one of her little cakes she used to make for me....that was the last time I was ever going to receive one from her...
Then this year was her worst....everything started going downhill and she had to move out of her house and live in a god aweful hospital respite....24 hr nurse care and white walls of seclusion. I visited when I could, due to school and all, but seeing her lay around and wither away like a dying flower really brought me to tears one day....she and my grandmother looked exactly the same, since they were sisters...and watching her lay there reminded me of my grandmother and how long it took me to get over the loss....and now I've lost two beautiful women, whom I loved so very much....I will miss her for ever and always...
*EDIT*
I have decided it's better to go home to the funeral on saturday, then stay and party this weekend...I would much rather pay my respects in person....
Rest in peace Katherine Spieler....I will miss you....
I used to be very regular period wise, even after having a baby. Everything was fine, and I was never really late for a period. Then all of a sudden, about a year ago, they started skipping every once in a while, and lasting a little bit longer the next time. I can't go on the pill because it has estrogen in it and that will increase my blood pressure, and that's not good right now....anyways....this time, it's REALLY bad....like, freaking out, i need major help bad! My period has been here since the 12th of July. that wasn't a typo, I mean JULY! not august, JULY!!!! It just keeps getting worse! I've been to the Nurse Practitioner at the local health unit, hoping that maybe she would be able to help, but all she did was perscribe "Micronor" a type of the birth control pill without the estrogen. So apparently it doesn't help to regulate you period, and I'm so upset I just want to drop kick someone! If any of you have any ideas, or experience in this area...or maybe you or someone you know went through something similar, can you give me some advice. I'm flipping out and the nurses won't do anything and my gynochologist won't see me because she's too busy with women who have "real problems" (like pregnancy difficulties, things like that....apparently this isn't serious enough!)....I'm just really worried that this is goign to be like...cervical/ovarian cancer...my cousin (who is only 7 years older than me.) just had to have a hysterectomy because she had ovarian cancer....what if that's what's wrong?!!? I really wish my mother cared enough about me to help....i'm so alone and lost and really confused. I'm in pain, and completely frustrated...please....can someone help me out?! Give a little advice, if you can!
first off, thanks so much to everybody who's been praying for liz..
ook.. update..
not really good news. they found more tumors, and had to take her other ovary and uterus out. so she's got 6 more sessions of chemo to do.
but liz is just so strong... she's gotta pull through this. we cant lose faith.. shes gotta pull through.
but im scared. the doctor said this is the last surgery he's gonna do. so basically.. we gotta rely on the chemo and pray and pray and pray to God its not gonna come back again. man, i was so scared yesterday.. my Dad pulled the whole family aside into a different room and told us what was going on. and hes like this is serious stuff, im not gonna bull shit you... we knew this was gonna be a long battle, blah blah.. and im just scared that what the doctor means by that is, if the cancer comes back.. there's not much we can do. and i was afraid to ask if thats what he meant. but my dad said i dont know, we just have to pray that it doesnt. unless the doctor changes his mind to do surgery again.
but it just hit me yesterday... i could've lost my sister, that two years ago if she hadnt been rushed to the hospital.
i could've lost her this year, if they hadnt scheduled that surgery.
i could lose her, if it ever comes back.
and i hate, hate, hate with a passion, seeing her go through this. it's so hard seeing someone you love so much going through so much pain... it's just been too long.. it needs to stop. it needs to go away and never ever come back again...
but liz is a fighter. and damn she's freakin strong....
life is precious. keep prayin
