I'm going to add that what @loribmt wrote is so very true. I read your positive thoughts about where you live in a condo with lovely neighbors, 54 years with your husband where you are his memory and he is your feet, and giving your walker the name of "Charlie". It saddens me that the doctors dismissed your gut feeling that something was very wrong.
It sounds like you are the full-time caregiver for your husband. What do you enjoy doing that is just for you?

Thank you for replying to my email. Actually, my family doctor did not know that the cyst I had on my ovary had developed into a full grown tumour until I went to see her about my symptoms. She was devastated to find out what had happened and actually blamed herself. She had phoned the gynocologist I saw to ask her if we need to follow this every year with ultrasounds and she said it was too small to amount to anything and that was in 2014 and here we are today. The moral of this story is any size cyst on any organ should always be followed!
I watch a lot of sports on TV. I love baseball and our hometown football team and I have these word games on my I pad that I do every day. I find myself losing so many words now so this helps me with that. Please share your story with me sometime. It helps to know I am not the only one out there that was damaged by chemo.
Hope to hear from you again.
