To my dear friends,

Many of you know that about a month ago I began experiencing alarming abdominal bloating that I attributed to gas or something GI in nature. The problem was that nothing alleviated the symptoms and it was just getting worse. An abdominal x-ray was negative and I finally had an abdominal ultrasound on 12/11. I won't go into the problems I had getting anyone at my doctor's office to take me seriously. The ultrasound showed that the cause of my bloating was not gas but fluid. Malignant ascites. 

On 12/12 I had a CT scan and  2 liters of fluid were taken out of my abdomen.  Immediately I felt 100% better than I had for ages.

On 12/13 I met my Gyn Oncologist who is wonderful. What I have is Stage IIIc Ovarian Cancer.

I will have a port inserted on 1/3/20 and begin chemo therapy for 9 weeks followed by surgery and then 9 more weeks of chemo.

I treasure your prayers and friendship more than ever right now. I have perfect peace that only God can give and I know that this will work out well.

I want to keep you posted so that is why my friend Jennifer set up this Caring Bridge site for me which I appreciate greatly. I would love to hear from all of you more than anything. Nothing much will be happening until after Christmas. I'm going to Wichita again this year to be with family.


I send you all my love and wishes for a blessed and joyful Christmas.
Kay
