Doug -

A quick note to give you hope and a blessing. My mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian in 2001. She went through chemo and other therapy, and survived! She had great support from her kids and her extended family. I can tell you from experience that a positive attitude (along with the right Doctor), can make a huge difference!

You have our prayers!

Doug,
This is a tremendous challenge for you and Rachel - my heart goes out to both of you.

I agree that positive thinking can do amazing things so you and Rachel need to make up your mind right now that you will beat this thing. Be your own advocates - don't trust the system. Read, demand information, make them investigate all possibilities. Our medical community is full of good skilled people but sometimes they are overwhelmed and need a push in the right direction.

We are here to support you.

I have a friend who went through the same thing. She beat it, and is finally coming back to school with only 2 weeks left in the school year. With enough positive thinking, and support from others, She'll do the same I'm sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Rachel will be in my prayers. I cannot imagine having to endure this..

I'm sorry to read this today. With our thoughts and prays from some I hope to read about her small victories leading to a winning message down the road. Positive thoughts and a fighting spirit are real medicine. Continue life as you would otherwise. Don't let cancer dominate you, dominate the cancer.

That's horrible! My family and I have spent many years supporting cancer societies and I wish you the best of luck in this fight! Anything is possible and this thing can be beaten! Never lose faith and never stop fighting.

Usually I donate anonymously but this time I’m hoping someone sees what I’m doing and copies me. It’s terrible what you and your daughter are going through and even harder when money becomes an issue. I’ve seen 50+ guys get together to get a discount on steel flares for their cars and even more to put together a yellow car in memory of someone who passed away so I’m hoping a can get others to follow me when I send $100 your way. Please PM your address so I can send a check asap. If the group wishes, I will also collect checks made out to Doug Armstrong and forward as they arrive. This board is a huge community of great people and here’s a great opportunity to help someone who is truly in need of our support. Mark Epstein

You are so right Mark. I easily spent three times that to go play with the yellow car. Put me down for $100 also as I have two daughters of my own. I will send it to you Mark as I already have your address.

I'm not a religous man but quasi beleive in the power of positive thinking.
Any positive thoughts would be appreciated.
You got it man. I'm very sorry to hear this obviously, but I know a young lady that overcame ovarian cancer so it can definitely be done. Don't think for a second that it can't be overcome.
