2x Stage 3c ovarian cancer SURVIVOR 🙏SherryStrong.org was created to focus on OC prevention & healthy living via holistic & integrative medicine 💙

Seriously can’t believe it was 6 years ago today

Seriously can’t believe it was 6 years ago today that I heard a dr tell me those 3 words no one ever wants to hear. “You have cancer.” And not a good one. If there is such a thing. I remember that day like it was yesterday. The Dr calling to tell me to come to the hospital after my CT scan telling me to bring my family members?! I couldn’t understand why he wanted my family with me. I just had a belly ache, felt bloated and had some occasional pelvic pain. I had already been told they were “normal” ovarian cysts. I had the ultrasounds with an OBGYN, did everything right. Until the pain persisted and no one would listen to me. I was bounced around from Dr to Dr for 4 months until a dr that was a family friend finally said, “Let’s do a scan and see why you are in so much pain.” Staring at me in disbelief that no one had done one yet. I remember sitting in the waiting room waiting to get my scan thinking he’s probably going to tell me I have kidney stones or something silly. Nope. I wish. Seeing his face when I got back to the hospital, I knew. I knew it was something bad. But I had no idea the fight that I was about to endure. Two major surgeries, roughly 37 IV chemo treatments, and 3 years on an oral chemo later. I’m HERE. I’m sitting here typing this, breathing fresh air, feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin, reliving the past 6 years of precious memories with friends and family thinking about how I’ve been one of the lucky ones. All 6 of my friends I met with stage 3C OC that were around my age after I was diagnosed have all left this Earth to go home. I often ask God in the quiet hours of the night, why me?! Why am I still here?! Then I hear Him whisper His plan for MY life. To help and serve others. To bring others hope in their deepest darkest moments of despair that I remember so well. I’ve already outlived their statistics. I’ve already deified the odds. So now I will wake up everyday with a purpose...HIS purpose. Help others. Love oneanother fiercely. Feel empathy and compassion for others. Live each day like it’s my last. To all the women out there fighting, I see you. I hear you. I know how strong you are. NEVER, EVER GIVE UP 💙💪👊 - Sherry
