I found a short add w/ your website in the Boise Weekly Dirt: Downtown/Northend issue. Last January I was diagnoised w/ ovarian cancer. Dr. Perez did my second operation. I like he and Martha. I have two kids 10 & 13. I also have a wonderful positive husband that is going through this w/ me. I did two rounds of chemo and then stopped because of side effects - chemo sucks! I had my cancer for years before it was caught. My cancer is a rare cell type (granulosa cell tumor) it tends to grows slower than some of the other types but seems to come back more persistantly in the long run. I have my first scan next Tuesday. I am nervous about the scan because lately those vague symptoms have been getting stronger. I have met another lady (Sally) who is also an ovarian cancer patient and Dr. Perez client. I would love to meet more women w/ ovarian cancer in the Boise area. My home phone is 336-1573 give me a call if you are interested in forming a group or something. I feel like I need to do something to stop cancer and give back I got so much help during my surgeries and chemo. I also need some girl friends that understand all the complicated changes and emotions. Maybe we could start a book club or something? Hope your day is well. Debi Hi,

Not only for your trip to Florida which seems to be so incredibly symbolic for you and your sister, but also that you are going to go through with the book. You are absolutely right about ovarian cancer being so incredibly overlooked and there are thousands of other young women going down a very similar road as you with little to no outlets of others to turn to that speak there "cancer language". It really surprises me that ovarian cancer is so overshadowed. Especially by breast cancer. You would think they would work more hand in hand as far as funding/education/outreach goes. Especially when so many that have a story about one, also have a story about the other. You are here to inspire others and impact even more. I'm so proud of you can I can't wait to see where the upcoming years takes us. You, my dear, are a blessing! I am so excited for you.
