Ovarian Cancer

I was a 69 years old when diagnosed. I am now 74 years old. My cancer changed my life. My overriding wish was to avoid stress and people or events that caused stress. I wanted to get away from the city to a quieter more peaceful life and a sense of being closer to nature. My husband and I sold our city home and moved to the country. We love our new home and the country people are so friendly and there is a real sense of community. I just love the stars at night - a 360 degree panorama that you do not get in the city. I often look up at the stars in wonderment. The countryside is so lovely that I now want to try my hand at painting, something I had never contemplated before. I have organised my affairs to give me peace and tranquility. While the cancer diagnosis was at first frightening, I now realise that something good has come from it.
