Jan here once again to update my story. I am now just about 12 years survivor of ovca stage 4. No recurrence to date. I hope this will give hope and encouragement for those who might be in need as that is the reason I am here. My story is posted here. Hugs and healing roses from my garden I send to all of you. Jan
