FROM INDIANA
My world came falling down around me. I was completely heartbroken when I found out my wife Carla, had ovarian cancer back in December. Me and the kids knew something was wrong, she had no energy and was sick all the time. She finally went to her doctor and they did bloodwork than sent her to the hospital for tests. Than the bad news two weeks before Christmas. They did a hystrorectomy in January and she seems to be doing a lot better. She's getting her energy back but is depressed a lot. She says she feels less of a woman because she has no female organs. The doctor put her on wellbrutrin. We hope this helps. It makes me sad seeing her sad. I had to miss a lot of work taking her to doctor appointments and surgery and also taking time off work for recovery. That didn't help either and we had to get a second mortgage on the house to pay for what insurance didn't. But we have faith and faith will get us through it.
