Maureen’s Story

Site created on February 16, 2019

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. In January of 2019, Maureen, aka Mimi, was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. The doctors believe that the best course of treatment is to begin with chemotherapy. After 3 rounds of chemotherapy, the doctors will look at the results, and help identify the next best steps.  Mimi began her first round of chemotherapy on February 12. Her next 2 rounds will follow every 21 days. So many of you have reached out to ask how you could help, so here are a few ideas. Mimi enjoys constant updates about your life on Facebook, cards, and emails. She loves visitors, but please check in before stopping by. As far as meals, they do enjoy prepared foods from Joes Market. Roger asks Mimi what she wants, and he goes and picks it up for her :) 

Newest Update

Journal entry by Katy Sokolove

Ok so the updates are not fast and furious but slow and steady just like our fearless Mimi. Be just had her 3rd transfusion of chemotherapy which is the 1/2 way point. The process has been uncomfortable, but she is really amazing and we have been blessed with no major or minor illnesses along the way - just tired and achey. We did get some really encouraging news with her last blood draw - the cancer markers in her blood are down which seems to be a good indicator that the chemo is working. Next week, there will be a CT SCAN and a follow up with surgeon to determine next steps. Mimi feels buoyed by all that you have done with cards, calls, texts, and gifts. She is truly feeling the love. Let’s pray that she continues to tolerate the treatment and we get to plan more adventures with our treasured Mimi.
