  • Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to those who celebrate! Just a quick update on Christmas Eve of what’s going on in my battle against ovarian cancer and not forgetting to really appreciate the things that make you happy - particularly family.

    Happy Holidays Maria! fab sox and fab baby gear omg! my granddaughter is 10. she was born the day after my ovarian cancer debulking surgery. my daughter had a c section so we were both in hospitals recovering at the same time (she in NM me in AZ). as soon as she was cleared for travel after 6 weeks, they brought the baby to see me. it was indescribably awesomeness to hold that little sweet thing. fast forward to now--- she is joined by two little brothers! ages 6 and 4. they all moved to Portugal in August so i am struggling to not be upset missing them. we are using wonderful technology to stay connected. it was tough seeing toys and Christmas goodies in stores and not sending a big care package but i am rolling with it. my daughter said be brave mom so here we are. speaking of bravery, i have a scan tues so am dealing with pain and scanxiety during this holiday but that's ok. not first time! my doctor suspects recurrence and for that the nerves are real, but hey i am here today! so to all of us--Be Brave 🎉🎄💐

    Hearing her talk about her grand baby is so sad and really hits home for me. My Dad only got to hold his grandson once before his glioblastoma took him.

Good things are coming your way. I can feel it. Love your new hair growth too. Looks exactly like mine did after Taxol. Lots of love from your counsel friend out in Vancouver BC Canada. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Janice

    Hi Maria! I feel your exhilaration over the new baby! What's more fun than buying baby clothes, so cute, you want to buy everything! I am glad that your family will come for Christmas. You are so right about enjoying every moment. As someone who had this myself, it gave me a new appreciation for things I took for granted. You look so adorable in the hat! Merry Christmas and all I can say is that you are such a wonderful person and anyone who has you in their life is so luck! Love you bunches!❤💚💙

    Merry Christmas Maria! I think the socks are great! I am so thrilled that your first grandchild is coming in March. She’s a lucky baby to have you as a grandmother. Enjoy the shower and buying things they say they don’t need. When that baby comes, you spoil her-it’s your right as a grandmother! As a retired (after 44 years) critical care nurse, I feel you’d appreciate knowing the correct pronunciation of the medical terms associated with your treatment. The words paracentesis and thoracentesis don’t have an N after the “para” and “thora” parts of the words. Please understand that this is not a criticism-I know this is so minor in the grand scheme of all that you’re going through, and we use some pretty big and unfamiliar terminology in medicine, but somehow I feel you’d want to know the correct way to say the words. You’re in my heart and in my prayers, and my respect for you is huge. You are so strong and your approach to this totally unexpected 180 turn in your life’s path is so intelligent and tolerant. God bless you and your family this Christmas, and the New Year will bring happiness and healing.

It's an unusual small B cell non Hodgkins lymphoma marginal. Haven't come across anyone else with same diagnosis. Had radiation tx 3 weeks ago. Cancer is certainly scary, but not letting it consume me. I have 4 little grandsons. I remember my 1st. It's exciting! Enjoy every moment. Praying 2023 brings you blessings. Your a tough lady. God bless you!🙏❤️

    Wishing you a very wonderful Holiday this year! It's such fun to plan a baby shower and congrats on becoming a new grandmama! Just a quick mention - when meeting with your Dr., please ask the benefit of IV Vit C in large doses. My sister had ovarian stage 4 and it worked wonders for her. Google it to get more informed about the benefits as it might be a huge help for you as well. God bless and please have a really fun and memorable Holiday!!

Got to come home the next day about the same time I was admitted. Breathing so much better. My COPD acted up from the weather, they put me on a new inhaler I take once a day, it's working.
