      From MaryAnne June 1, 2007

      Never give up hope. I don't always get a chance to write every little or BIG thing in my journal but your mom's going through alot of what I went through in the begining. You'd never believe how fast things can change not only for the worse but for the better. I was not supposed to be alive right now and not only am I, but feeling quite well most of the the time. If her diagnosis is Ovarian, the treatment options are endless unlike some other types of cancers where there are only so many kinds of treatments and only limited amounts that can be given. Please feel free to write with any specific questions you might have and remember that the absolute BEST thing for all of you Mom and entire family is to try in spite of anything to stay positive and for your mom to avoid STRESS at any cost. I know it sounds hard, but stress will do a number on everyone, especially her. Hus and Prayers! MaryAnne
