About Me

Hi. My mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer (Stage 3) early this year. She had gone in for surgery on a hernia, but what they found was a tumor the size of a basketball. Since then my family's and my life have been turned upside down. Not that they were that right-side up to begin with. I'm part of a dysfunctional family, so a new crisis seems like a kinda twisted joke chucked into the pot. But I guess that doesn't really matter. It's not like any of this can be taken back. So, I'm making this page- not just for myself to talk freely, but to reach out to others struggling with living a life already complicated enough now weighed down in some way by cancer.

My Interests

Giving support to others

I'd like to meet:

Others who are or have been deeply affected by cancer or other life-crippling problems in some way or another. Please share your stories of hope, pain, and/or questions. Oddly enough, it's often easier to share with strangers rather than with those closest to us. ******NOTE: Please only add as a friend if you are sincere in your support, those purely wanting free advertising on this page will be promptly deleted!*******

Heroes:

Those that don't give up hope in the face of adversity. Those that understand what it is to survive, even through death.
