I was at the clinic today, and noticed with pleasure that a local Ottawa craft brewery called Beau’s Ale is sponsoring the Walk for OvCa in June. I wont’t be on the online discussion tonight as I am a bit overwhelmed from today’s clinic findings. Seems I have an early recurrence, so need to rethink a number of things. I am glad that I have a cancer coach available throught the Regional Cancer Society, will talk things through with him. Good thoughts to all you sisters on the Dialogue.0

It was good. Enjoyed some fresh air until the wind nearly blew the kids and I over (the little one literally got blown over lol!). I connected with someone who is currently undergoing treatment for ov cancer so I'm hoping she checks this out and joins us some evening.0

Weather here was great - too much wind though - and everyone is so pumped with this hockey!
We have lots of craft breweries here on the prairies - going to try and get more to get on board like that one in Ottawa @jsullivan33 - thanks.
I spent last Tuesday going to the local businesses to drop off the brochures on Ovarian Cancer Awareness.0 -
Yes I love thunderstorms (as long as it's not severe and causes damage). I really don't like the winds. We had a bad storm a few years back and env Canada called it plow winds but it sounded like a freight train. Was lucky there wasn't much damage to my house but my neighbour's garage next door was completely obliterated.0
-
Yes, those storms can be damaging.
Is everyone in a good place tonight? Anything pressing on your mind? I really have been trying to do lots of self care, focus on the moment tasks.. started reading some book on art therapy.0 -
I'm not in a great headspace right now. Treatment is now done and it finished on an unexpected note...with me not being able to get my taxol due to a bad reaction. And my cycles were stretched o every 4weeks at cycle 3 due to low counts. So i feel so worried about recurrence because we veered off treatmemt course. So much worry right nowFlowergirl said:Yes, those storms can be damaging.

completely understandable @red1976 - it is difficult. Hoping the DR team has provided you with some answers and a plan... do you feel like you are in good hands with them?0
-
@flowergirl I do. But it wasnt my regular guy yesterday. I plan on calling him tomorrow to ask questions I was too high on benadryl to think of!!!0
-
yes, that does a number on you - slept for days!
Good plan - I hope they are able to settle your worries for now.
And just like the storms, sounds a bit corny, however true - we prepare for them and take shelter - (friends, family DR team and this chat site) and then dance when it is raining too!
And sometime the forecast goes out the window.
I recall once the weather station said 95% chance of rain - but there was a 5% chance of no rain - so I went on my bike anyway - and it didn't rain!
Wishing you a good evening and the rest of the week!0 -

Thanks to each of your for your supportive words. It helps so much at these moments to hear them from like-minded women. @Flowergirl, please see this link for the Beau’s Beer sponship of this year’s OvCa walk 7 July in the Ottawa Valley.
I hope to join next week, best, @judsullivan331 -
