I just found out the month of September is dedicated to Ovarian cancer awareness. There is a special color, teal , that goes along with it. I went to the Arroyo Grande Hospital yesterday and met some dedicated people from the Cancer Connections group that are quite involved in their efforts to help others afflicted with any type of cancer. The goal is to help newly diagnosed people by giving them a person to talk to. Phone # 805-235-2997. We had a nice lunch after meeting at the hospital and supporting the awareness campaign led by Maureen Clancy, a survivor.
I also found out there is a new Ovarian cancer patient support group meeting at the Hearst Cancer Resource Center at French Hospital on the 3rd Monday of the month at 4pm. Hopefully I will go to it this coming week.
That's a lot of information and now that I'm feeling better and getting out more, it's nice to know what's available to me. Meanwhile, I keep busy doing what I want to do and feel good enough to do. I like that. I'm grateful that the experimental drug I'm on now allows me to feel almost normal (whatever normal is.)
