My Cancer Journey

My Cancer Journey

Hi, I'm Maria and I'm fighting ovarian cancer. At the peak of my career as a litigation attorney, I have been diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer. The impact has caused me to take a medical leave of absence and I will be taking you along with me on my journey towards a cure, whether it is from draining the malignant ascites from my abdomen, chemotherapy or surgery. I'm so fortunate to live in close proximity to a world-class cancer center who will be providing my care: Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA.

    @andanotherthing12533 ай бұрын

    Apparently you didn't read the above comment from her brother. He stated Maria passed away. And , to answer your question, everyone has their own reasons for how they deal with terminal illness. Some find it helpful to create a network of followers who support, pray, and relate to an individual's journey. There is no right way to face one's challenges. You stated: "im a survivor and never gave it a thought to tell my experience"; and albeit short, you did just share your story on social media. We should never judge. Feel blessed, but also remember to pray for those who are suffering.

    My dad just died of pancreatic cancer 6 days after diagnosis. It was an awful death. He wanted to go home, but his pain was much greater than what could be handled with the oral pain medication that you get with in home hospice. We took him home and tried because we had no idea what to expect, but had to get help from a residential hospice on his last day so that he could get some relief. I am so sorry that you fought this beast and ultimately lost the fight. I guess that I can only be thankful that his battle was short lived.

    ​@@HappiestGirl69i lost my mom months ago from ovarian. she basically was diagnosed at the same time as she was actively dying... in a way we feel abit better her suffering was short and she didnt have to go through an extensive period in discomfort and all the treatments. although she was most likely in some amount of pain for some time and just didnt really look into it. i feel guilty everyday thinking i should have noticed the signs in her, as stupid as it sounds

    Sama odpoczywaj w pokoju wiecznym ! Ona chciała żyć a nie odpoczywać w pokoju wiecznym bo ty tak chcesz ??? głupia krowo!! Nikt normalny nie chce umierać !!! Dobry kochający Bóg ma w swej pamięci zmarłych i w wyznaczonym czasie wybudzi ich ze snu śmierci bo oni na razie śpią snem śmierci ! ! Da im zmartwychwstanie ! Przeczytaj w Biblii Księgę Izajasza rozdział 26 wiersz 19 ! Ludzie którzy w tym czasie będą przy życiu już nie umrą ! Przeczytaj Ewangelię Jana rozdział 11 ! Jezus tam o tym mówi ! Możemy zacząć dać Biblii bo to jest Słowo Prawdomównego Bez ha do nas ! Biblia nie kłamie ! I po to Jezus umarł za nas żebyśmy uwolnili się od grzechu i śmierci . Mówi k tym apostoł Jan w Ewangelii Jana rozdział 3 wiersz 16 . Bóg chce nam pomagać dać z powrotem życie wieczne które utracili Adam z Ewą . I Jezus złożył okup za nas żebyśmy mogli żyć wiecznie bez śmierci chorób cierpień . Taki świat obiecuje Bóg w Biblii w Objawienie Jana rozdział 21 wiersz 3:5 . Czytaj !!! Uwierz !!! Zaufaj Bogu !!!
