This journey started Labor Day 2011. I was experiencing relatively "normal" stomach/intestinal pains that I thought doctors could diagnose. I was sent to various doctors who had no answers. Two CT scans, an endoscope and colonoscopy, x-rays, various ultrasounds, a trip to the ER, and several blood tests later, I was finally diagnosed - in January - with ovarian cancer -- stage 4. Ughhhh. Why did it take so long? Why couldn't the doctors identify cancer? Why did they keep telling me, "Follow up with me in 3-4 weeks. If the pain gets bad go to the ER." Some doctors even said, "I don't know what to do for you." That was frustrating. So finally we have a diagnosis and can start tackling this. Only with God's help can I walk though this. My prayer requests are for my husband, our 2 and a half year old, my faith to grow, and for God to be glorified through this.
