Good to get to know a little more about you @joannedb. @hopeful33250 @cynthiawick and @sue_in_delaware know about enjoying life one day at a time and the importance of a good support system.

Joanne, have you seen the webinar we did last year called "What Women Need to Know about Ovarian Cancer"? You can view it here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/interactive-webinar-what-women-need-to-know-about-ovarian-cancer/
In the webinar Mayo Clinic gynecologic cancer specialists Jamie N. Bakkum-Gamez, M.D. and John Weroha, M.D., Ph.D. discuss the signs and symptoms women should be aware of for detection of ovarian cancer, understanding treatment options, and the importance of new clinical trials. Beside the webinar is a discussion between people who attended the webinar, which may also interest you. Note: The discussion thread beside the webinar is in reverse chronological order.

Thanks so much, Colleen. I'll definitely watch it.

@joannebd. Yes, Colleen is right about the importance of enjoying life one day at a time. It is so easy to let the challenges cloud over the joy of the "present." I like to keep a "thankfulness journal." To list who and what I'm thankful for. Even if you only list 3 things each day (and especially when you are feeling overwhelmed) it is a tremendous mood booster! Keep writing and stay connected. We all care.
