"There is always hope.

"There is always hope." It just comes in different forms."
How easy it is to accept this journey when you remember that.

What can we Hope for?
Hope starts the day of your diagnosis when instead of panicking that you have
cancer; you realize that you've been given a second chance to live.
Hope continues when you wake up from your surgery and see all those smiling
faces of people that love and support you.
Hope is being overwhelmed by someone telling you that they are praying for you.
Hope comes after they've staged your disease and quoted the statistics. It dawns
on you that SOMEONE has to be the positive side of those numbers and you decide
then and there that "that someone" will be you.
Hope comes by arming yourself with knowledge and information.
Hope is in changing your physical lifestyle so that you can maximize the
benefits of treatment.
Hope is in the fact that there is chemotherapy and actually, in the fact that
there are many different types of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. If one
doesn't work, maybe another will.
Hope is in knowing that we have fabulous healthcare facilities and exceptional
medical talent operating them.
Hope is in the breaking news - dozens of stories every day - where extremely
intelligent men and women are working to find answers and solutions to ovarian
cancer and its treatment.
Hope is in reading about the dozens of clinical trials which are underway.
Hope comes when you realize that a recurrence isn't a death sentence but just
another bump in the road.
Hope is in truly knowing that more and more, ovarian cancer is being treated
like a chronic disease and that there will be recurrences and that there will be
good answers.
Hope is in realizing that you are a heck of a lot stronger than you thought.
Hope becomes part of you when you discover the universal light in your heart. It
gives you love, happiness, compassion, forgiveness and most importantly
serenity.
Lastly, hope is in trusting and accepting that our transition from this physical
level of being to the next is the ultimate peaceful, natural and enlightening
beginning we are each created for. (Author Unknown)
