Open Ovarian Cancer

I see a GYN Oncologist as my primary doctor. Have not been offically diagnosed, but my last visit in Jan. 08 he said that he recommends surgery because my only remaining ovary is abnormal. He can't see what is going on until he does surgery. I am getting married 04/26/08, and I had started a new job at the time, so I am putting off surgery. Symptoms seem to be getting slightly worse.

Open Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

I have a list a mile long of abdominal ailments. I had ruptured appendix with perotinitis when I was 4 yrs. old, and it's been complicated ever since. I saw my doctor yesterday and now have IBS. She gave me no meds., so I'm a little confused as to what I should do. My stomach seriously hurts!

Treatments

Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Too Soon to Tell

Dairy seems to aggravate this for me.

Open Step Families

I am going to be married in 2 weeks to a man who has 3 children, 2 by one mother, and 1 by another. I do not have any children myself, and I hate having to deal with them. They stress me out to no end, and he tries to keep us all happy, but sometimes he forces me to spend time with them and I truly just do not want to. I am a loner type of person who likes the quiet and likes to read and this does not mesh with children.
