Kim's story is inspiring me (I am 52 yrs old, mother of 2 aged 33 and 23) as I was just told yesterday that I have ovarian cancer after ct scan. I feel better about my treatment journey coming up. Thank you so much for sharing this ❤😘🙏
My God, I wish I was as positive and active after surviving ovarian cancer. My life is a constant struggle and I've been clear for just over 2 years.
My doctor ignored me as if I was drug seeking. He did send me to a gynecologist. She says things feel fine. I looked like I was pregnant. Back pain, sweating, pain in abdomen. The pain got worse so my plan go to er get problems figured out. They found a football size ovarian tumor. They sent me on a medical jet down to Seattle. They removed the tumor and did a debulking, took out some lymph node’s. Cancer didn’t spread outside the tumor. At the er they told me I would most likely die. I did go visit them when I got home. They were shocked, no chemo, no treatment my decision. That was in May 2011.
Ma'am I cannot believe for one minute that any of your family see you as a burden. You are loved & cherished. Bless you & good luck.
Kim, your an amazingly strong woman. I pray you have a wonderful and long life. You are an inspiration.

I too have ovarian cancer second reoccurrence question what par inhibitors are you on and do you have any side effects?
It's PARP inhibitor, not par inhibitor. What she's taken may make no difference for you. You need to take the drugs tat are tailored specifically for the genetics of your cancer. You need to talk to your doctor further, to find out which PARP inhibitors, if any, will work specifically for your cancer's genetic make-up. There are many types of ovarian cancer.
