@janehmul Thanks for sharing and respecting my words, ideas, writing, & work! You’re such an ally & I appreciate you. I’m sadly proof of what high aces can do to one’s physical health.
I’ve been at Mass General Hospital & am heading home & starting hospice. Thank you for reaching out to me, for caring how I’m doing, & loving & supporting me. It’s been a rough six months & I’ve been in survival mode. Clinical trials & traditional treatments have failed. (1)
@janehmul@DrNadiaChaudhri I know Jane!! I think that was when I had shingles, shortly before I was diagnosed. I wish we’d met in person but out connection was & is still very meaningful!!!
@eperryinsights Sadly, most of us are initially misdiagnosed and it’s costly given how fast ovarian cancer spreads, how there’s no early detection, - it’s no wonder most of us are diagnosed at an advanced stage.
All too often women are misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, or urinary infections. And all too often, the diagnosis of ovarian cancer comes too late. https://t.co/96YghDHPoQ #OvarianCancer#IWD2023#HormoneExpert@womensday
Time will change how we look on the outside.
Time will also change how we feel on the inside.
No matter how we change, two things are true: you are beautiful and you matter.

@MIShouldTalk@HospiceofMI Amazing! The hospice I just started this week has a legacy project as well as reiki and animal therapy (in addition to sw, spiritual support & nurse). I love that supports are available to caregivers too.
@ReshapersCIC We shouldn’t have any Shame at all for family trauma & lasting impact. But so much pride for who we became. . Should be angry, able & able the ready.
