I was diagnosed with clear cell ovarian cancer in 2016. I’m currently Ned. My family think I should be over it and move on. Don’t talk about the c word. It was part of my life and I am changed by it. My memory isn’t as good and I still get joint pains, I feel low and I tire easily. I do feel alone sometimes and exhausted by life. I should be happy I’m here, but so many ladies have gained their wings and I feel guilty. 

  • Hi Shelly, you mustn't feel guilty but embrace you being alive, it wasn't your time to go yet so please don't waste your energy on feeling guilty when you should be enjoying your life despite tiring easy and joint problems.  I hate the joint problems it's so hard in the morning especially isn't it?  Every day I wake up I am thankful I am here for another day, as lovely and supportive your family may be they are not you, so you can't expect anyone to understand unless they have been through it, most people can't understand why I am so positive, they gave me 3-5 years and this is my 3rd year of living with Ovarian cancer, it's hard as most people know, but I try think positive and enjoy the time I have left, so please please enjoy your time and find some things to look forward to to raise your spirits.   Go stand in the garden or park bare feet and feel mother nature beneath you breathe deeply and relax it does help - I love your gained their wings analogy, but we can have Angels in human form too on the 3D world - talk to yours you never know you may just get an answer and they're here to help us. Bless you
