Hello everyone,
I've been couponing and refunding for almost 40 years, and when I got a computer, I joined RS and traded with over 3,000 of you.
I've been battling ovarian cancer for almost 3 years - and now my doctor says there is nothing more he can do. He estimates I have a "few months."
I have been wanting to post this on the chat board, but wonder if it's appropriate to ask for people's encouragement and/or maybe a card....especially during this "happy season." I only got the news about a month ago, and I am struggling with depression and anxiety. Hospice is now involved and I'm sure they are going to be able to help eventually.
Right now, I feel fairly good - after three years of chemos and trials and tests, my body is probably just happy to be free of it all. Some days are good, some not.
Need just a little encouragement -
Judy Fisher

I've seen the catscans. This cancer has been aggressive from day 1. I had surgery in 2012 where 99% of the cancer was removed. Went through a round a chemo for six months and it still came back a few months later. More surgery, more chemo - again it came back. Then a trial ovarian cancer program that was miserable - it kept the cancer staple for about 6 months - and then it exploded.
Had a major surgery again in September, hoping to give me a few more years - the cancer has spread everywhere in my stomach and pancreas. They could not get a major tumor on the pancreas. I am a realist and know that my doctor (who is one of the best in the country) has done all he can. He did offer another chemo, but said this particular chemo would be really hard on my body and even though it might give me an additional six months, they would be miserable six months.
I've opted for living my life as best as I can for as long as I can.
But thank you for your opinion

Hey, I am a great trader! 3,000 times I've traded on this board without ever once having a serious problem. A little blip once in a while.
Just thought I would inject a little humor into a decidedly sad subject. I'm in California today for my Mom's 92nd birthday (many of you which sent cards for her two years ago - what a great surprise for her!)
I'll be here visiting family and friends through the holidays - wish everyone a joyous season
And thank you to all who have responded

I am a Hospice nurse and have been for 18 years and it sounds as if you have decided on a new course and it is sometime the hardest but bravest choice to make.. I never thought of my job as depressing but on the contrary very uplifting because my terminal patients have taught me how to " live". Just love and laugh more than you ever have and make the best of every day. You have a right to be comfortable so don't be afraid to embrace medicstions or other interventions that will make your time better quality time. Hospice is not giving up it is just changing your focus to comfort and peace.

I am in California - my family is all here... we have been visiting every day and half the night (so I am draggin' quite a bit),but I have been feeling really good. The joy I'm feeling right now is a blessing and each day I'm thankful for.
Hospice has been visiting twice a week, and they keep making comments like "you look so good, much better than we expected." Not sure what to make of it, but again, taking each day at a time and grateful there is minimal pain.
Thank so all so much for your kind words and encouragement. I feel certain that your support is what motivated me to put aside the fear, and the anticipation, and the sadness and take each and every good day as a gift.

53|2|Update|Momfisher|Momfisher@aol.com|14:51:13|03/27/2015|
I'm so blessed to have such support as this forum has given me.
The news continues to be good - and baffling - Hospice is basically wringing their hands and keep telling me there is no explanation for my continued good health.
Again, I am in California celebrating 2 Grandsons 10th & 12th birthday and one great granddaughter's 1st birthday, all this week. I feel really good and have minimal pain. I have started walking more in an effort to regain some muscle strength and even attempted to bowl about a week again - one of my favorite hobbies.
The one theory is that after three years of being put through surgeries and chemo, my body is just celebrating not being put through that. Without further major testing, there is no way to know what is happening with the cancer.
Mentally, it is always more of a challenge - it is always on my mind and occasionally, I get down. But mostly I'm happy to be feeling so well and enjoying my family and friends.
Thank you all

46|2|Hello everyone|Momfisher|Momfisher@aol.com|17:41:40|02/04/2015|
I am feeling surprisingly well. I've been with Hospice for three months now, and my health continues to be stable.
I enjoyed the holidays with my family and am grateful for every good day I've been having. Without any more doctors or further testing, it is just the general opinion of Hospice that after being on chemo for almost three years, my body is gaining in strength and mobility and no one can predict how long it will be before the cancer takes over.
Mentally, it's a little tougher to not think about the "last" Thanksgiving or the "last" Christmas.
And that's the reason that your cards and encouraging words have been such a blessing. About the time I start getting depressed, another card will arrive and I tell myself to quit sorry for yourself and keeping enjoying the time you have.
Thank you all - your kindnesses are so dearly appreciated!

I thought I replied earlier today with an update, but apparently, I did something wrong. So if this is a duplicate, I apologize.
Still feel amazingly well - Hospice was here earlier this week, and they just don't know what to do with me. I'm not declining in an obvious way... went bowling a few days ago, one of my life-long hobbies, and managed to keep the ball on the lanes. I continue to feel good with no major pain or health issues. Stage IV Ovarian Cancer - and no explanation for why I'm still feeling okay.
I'm in California this week - celebrating two grandson's birthday, 10 and 12 and a great granddaughter's 1st birthday. Life is good.
Mentally, it remains a challenge, and occasionally, I do become more than a little grumpy. Enjoy every day, friends. Your support has been very much day brighteners for me. Thank you

So sorry to hear this :(
kam726 66|2|On Easter's Day, I have a question for everyone|Momfisher|Momfisher@aol.com|15:11:45|04/05/2015|
It was November that my oncologist sat across from me and said that "I might have six months to live."
My world changed on that day.
But it is now April, and I continue to enjoy good health with no obvious signs of decline, no intolerable pain, nothing. Hospice is baffled. Under Hospice, I can not have any cancer tests, catscans, etc.
But there may be another way. The CA125 blood test for ovarian cancer is not reliable, but it is the only measure that doctors have. If your numbers go up and down, it is a barometer of how much the cancer may be spreading or holding its own.
I can order a CA125 blood test online and take it to a local lab, and have it done.
Physically, I feel well... mentally, it's much tougher to be optimistic or cheerful - every day you feel it could be your "last." The test might tell me the worse news or good news.
My question:
Would you want to know??? 67|3|Nope! Life your life from moment to moment with gratitude, love, and joy! :)|noway|minalouwho@gmail.com|00:41:43|04/06/2015|
Numbers can only take you so far- focus on happiness and spending time with the people you love.
:) 68|3|NO|20yrrefunder|tradernikki@yahoo.com|11:08:19|04/06/2015|
My DH has to take blood tests for a pre-cancer thing and his numbers fluctuate from low to high - prompting lots of biopsies - all were negative, thank goodness. But, the worry was horrible for us, to say the least. HTH

happen the next day. Your doctor may have not been optimistic enough, since you are still here, fighting it. Keep on fighting, maybe you will beat the odds, miracles do happen. You have a lot of people praying for you. I remember your birthday is the same as mine, May 17. I will be thinking of you that day. I too have some health issues and I try and look forward to some positive event. That keeps me going. My prayers and thoughts go out to you. Judi 70|3|Judy, honestly I wouldn't want to know. The test results could be wrong and you could make choices based on an incorrect result.

I'm leaning towards what most of you suggest - I'm just about to go into my oncologist's office, dressed to kill, and watch for the astonished look on his face. That might be fun!

nt 74|4|I agree with those who say "no" because|salsafan|salsafan@sbcglobal.net|16:38:55|04/08/2015|
doctors can only inform you based on "probability" --- What they say is based on w hat they have seen in the majority of cases and what they "expect" to happen..... There are always exceptions , miracles, unexpected outcomes or whatever you choose to call them....AND thinking positively can, in itself, have a beneficial effect and can promote wellness........... 75|1|Praying for you!|cjdj|Lintaos@optonline.net|22:58:12|04/15/2015|

77|2|I have been feeling embarrassed|Momfisher|Momfisher@aol.com|23:08:47|05/08/2015|
Hello Everyone
It was six months ago yesterday that my oncologist predicted I would be gone by now. Hearing that prognosis - it really changes one's perspective on everything... I cancelled magazine subscriptions, paid my car insurance for six months rather than a year, spent more money, and just made numerous decisions based on a six month life expectancy.
And I'm still here.
I'm feeling awkward that so many people continue to be supportive. Friends always seem to start conversations with total surprise that I'm still on my feet and with no outward signs of dying.
So two weeks ago, I signed off of Hospice and called my doctor and made an appointment for May 26th. I have no major pain, no signs of downward progression, and he was obviously totally off on his prediction. But the obvious remains true... I have ovarian cancer, it has not gone away, and I am realistic enough to know that this disease outcome is inevitable. Is there an explanation somewhere? I don't know yet.
It feels like somehow I've deceived everyone. I appreciate all the positive comments, and the kind notes and cards. I truly do. I continue to have good days and enjoy my family and friends. Share my joy in being alive, and loving the time that I have been given
Judy 78|3|Judy, sorry if I embarrassed you in anyway by posting.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|10:21:58|05/09/2015|
That's not my way. I'm very supportive by nature and I always hope for the best.
You shouldn't feel embarrassed at all. Your Doctor told you something and then you prepared yourself based on that information.
Glad you cancelled hospice. I'm sure your Dr is going to be surprised to see you.
I still consider you the Christmas Miracle and I hope that is confirmed at your upcoming Dr appointment.
I will continue to keep you in my thought and prayers.
Take care,
Life is like a cup of tea,
It's all in how you make it.

79|4|No no no|Momfisher|Momfisher@aol.com|10:36:36|05/09/2015|
You did absolutely nothing wrong. I was just expressing the thoughts that are running through my head now . . . there are so many scams and such on the internet - I was beginning to feel like people would think I was lying or exaggerating or trying to gain sympathy or I don't know what.
I'm grateful for you all 80|5|:) Guess I should drink more tea before posting. Sorry for the misunderstanding on my end.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|10:50:38|05/09/2015|
The thought of your being a scam never ever crossed my mind.

Hey Judy...just saw your post and I wish you the best.
I'm glad you found out about your cancer and it makes you and all of us enjoy life more and lead it to the fullest.
Little things mean alot and it brings us closer to those we love.
You've always been a dear friend and couponer to me.
If you need anything just let me know.

I would like to think that all our prayers, thoughts, support and cards, etc. for you is playing a part in the quid pro quo. You keep on doing what you are doing, and we will keep on cheering you on! It just might be why, you are where you are at, at this point in time!
Hugs!

My grandfather was diagnosed with emphysema and given a short time to live. He lived 10-15 years longer than the doctor predicted and they said it was actually a stroke that killed him. I truly believe our mindset has a lot to do with it. Just keep doing what you need to do and don't feel silly about it here.
