my name is megan and im 16, and about 2 weeks ago my family and i found out my mother has ovarian cancer. she is 50 years old. she also has chrones disease since 97' and has been in the hospital many times for that. she has been to the doctor and is going to have surgery on friday the 13th. im used to having her in the hospital but this time im much older and i can fully understand what is going on and what is going to happen. my mom has always my best friend and a warm shoulder to cry on and i cant think of life without her..i really dont know what would happen if i lost her..

Megan, my heart goes out to you! Don't give up hope but enjoy each moment with your mother as if it was your last. I know very little about ovarian cancer so I will let others address issues specifically related to that. I just want you to know that we are here for you. Keep us informed as things progress.

Hi Megan - I am really really close to my mom too and I can completely understand that you are afraid right now. Hang in there and please let us know how things turn out. I will be thinking of you & your family.

Dear Megan,

My prayers are with you and your mother today. I have teenagers also and know that they were upset with my cancer and surgery as well. Please try to find someone to share your feelings with. Sometimes it really helps to talk about it with someone who has been there too. Keep us posted.

Julie
