As some of you already know, my mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June ’12 (see an earlier post: mom’s story). She immediately began chemotherapy and had undergone 17 treatments. There were good days and bad days. In the end it didn’t work. Her struggle with this horrible disease and her suffering have ended. She died on November 5, 2013.
I can’t really fully express what I am feeling, but I know many of you understand. Sadness, devastation, fury, frustration, relief, helplessness, resignation, disbelief, emptiness, grief, anger. Right this moment it’s just RAGE. FUCK YOU, Cancer!
Saying NOPE to Breast Cancer 
Mogatos, I’m sorry, very very sorry…my heartfelt condolence goes out to you, this shit is just heart wrenching. And the anger will run deep, you’ve lost a lot to this dreadful disease both in your family and in yourself. Wish I could be there to give you a hug and shoulder to cry on, instead I send you a virtual {{{Hug}}} from abroad. ~D

I am so so sorry for your loss. Although I’m just a reader of this blog, my prayers are with you… All the females in my family with this mutation died of ovarian cancer. Cancer does suck…
Thank you for the prayers, Ray. ❤
So sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. Will be thinking about you.

I am so so sorry to hear this! My condolences to you and your family. My heart is heavy. Yes, too many, too many have been lost!
Thank you, Robin. ❤
I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. And the past loss of your sister. I am sorry for their suffering and yours. My heart goes out to you. I have been reading your blog for a few months. My sister sent me a link. It has been helpful to us. We are a few months behind you in reconstruction following PBM. Thank you for all you put in to it. I have recommended it to others. I am BRCA1 positive and my family has also suffered the great loss of too many beloved women. I agree, FUCK YOU CANCER!
Thank you so much for the thoughts and recommending my blog, April. ❤ I hope your recon is going well and complication free!
So sorry to hear about your mother’s recent death from ovarian cancer. My mother also has had that awful disease. I am thinking of you and your family…
Thank you for your kind words, Linda.

I am so sorry your lost your mama. I lost my grandmother (who raised me) to ovarian cancer too, in 1998 (she was young) and I still feel angry and sad about it. I completely empathize with your story. I will add you to my prayers for inner peace. Once day at a time is how we do it. xoxo
Thank you, Rebecca. Accept my condolences as well. I hate that there are so many of us with this in common. 😦
Thank you. I hate it too.
