I miss her…

After a brief but tough battle with PPC (Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma) a very rare ovarian cancer that strikes mostly women who have had hysterectomies, I lost mother... she was so close to being home... then this struck. I think she just missed daddy too much to fight anymore, and it's alright, she's with him now... I really miss her, as we'd grown very close in the years since my dad's death. Actually, we became friends... I miss talking with her about mundane daily junk that seems to take over our lives...and those long Sunday afternoon drives that became increasingly harder for her to do...

I urge ALL women to be checked. It is detected with the following: 'tumor marker' CA-125 BLOOD TEST...
