I am now a ten year cancer survivor. I had both third stage ovarian cancer and breast cancer at the same time. These cancers are not related to each other and they both snuck up on my. I urge all Boomer women to never get lax on those physical exams. I had virtually no symptoms with either of these cancers and I just thank God I had excellent medical care and lots of prayers to get me healthy again.

Congratulations and Welcome to the forum Nancy. I can't imagine both at once. Were you always getting your exams and this is how they were found?

welcome Nancy from another 10-year survivor! smile I was Stage II breast cancer which I found myself. Ovarian is a hard one to overcome and I'm glad you survived. Blessings all around.

Nancy, thanks for sharing your fantastic news. You must live in a big city where you were able to get excellent care. I've never heard on a woman having both those cancers at the same time. I'm grateful you've had such a wonderful outcome.

And three cheers for Meredith too.
