First Post - September 29, 2012

Hello Everyone-

My name is Tara Robinson and this is my first post on this my new Ovarian Cancer Blog . I named it "Scrambled Eggs.. Surviving Ovarian Cancer with my sense of humor intact." I want this to be an informative, irreverant, and sometimes funny space to discuss life with Ovarian Cancer. As I go along I will be adding spaces for people to comment and pages with helpful information. Like some other cancer survivors, I don't move as quickly as I would like, so this will be an ongoing process. If you have any ideas for this blog that would help you, I can be reached at: sparklythings@sc.rr.com .


My goal is to blog about my personal journey in the hope that it will help some one else out. I want people to know that you can survive Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer! My daily posts may just be an update about my day or something new I have learned. I want to present a positive view of Ovarian Cancer. As we go along, I will be adding pages to this blog with articles written by specialists who have helped me as I made my journey through the maze that is Ovarian Cancer. This blog is going to be my attempt to make sense of all this cancer stuff. 

Since my diagnosis on June 3, 2011 my life has been turned upside down. NOTHING is the same as it was last year at this time. Some of the changes have been incredibly positive, some scary and negative, and some I am still undecided about. I am one of the women who make up the 17% of Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer patients who survive a year past the date of their diagnosis. I would like to see the number of survivors grow past that 17% and this blog is my attempt to help Ovarian Cancer Survivors and their care givers.
