My mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in April 2001. She was a stage 1 and the doctors were sure she'd survive it with no problem. After 2 years in remission the cancer came back and she fought it hard for a year and a half before it took her life on October 14, 2005. She was only 49 years old. She never got to become a grandma. That was one of her biggest dreams! She tried so hard to beat it for my dad and me and my brother. She fought till the end, when the doctor said it was time to go to hospice.

Watching her wither away and become frail and weak was and still is very hard for me to see/remember. In the end of her short life the cancer had eaten into her colon and bladder. She no longer had function of either. Cancer was a horrible thing that took so much from her. Even with bags hanging off her body for waste, she still fought on.

I can't express to everyone enough how horrible this disease is. It can happen to YOU, Your mother, father, brothers, sisters, wifes, husbands. It doesn't discriminate!

On June 15 I'm walking in the Mason Michigan relay for life for the american cancer society. Me and my parents did this event every year and raised money in hopes of finding a cure for cancer. A cure still is yet to be found. Every cent we raise goes towards finding that cure and making sure NOBODY has to suffer like my mother suffered.

PLEASE, Please donate! Even if it's a dollar. Every cent helps!

PLEASE HELP US FIGHT THIS DISEASE!!!

What a wonderful tribute to your mom and everyone who has lost a loved one to cancer. A friend of mine is participating in the RFL in the Redford, MI area. I donated to his site. Best of luck with your donations!

I know of a man who got rid of his cancer by eating only living organic foods

Evilah

My prayers go out to you and your family. Ovarian cancer is one of the toughest to fight because it is so difficult to find. My DH is a pathologist and is active in the breast cancer fight. I applaud you for turning your terrible loss into action.

God bless. I believe in some way cancer has touched all of us through friends and/or family. It feels good to be able to contribute to such a worthy cause.
