I am Diane Orner. A registered nurse fighting cancer. My current oncologist admits he does not know when anyone will die. He is open,honest and kind. He said to live my life, not fixate on being a cancer patient Disclaimer: I tend to be rather straight forward so if that scares you maybe another blog would be more appropriate for you. But,if you are up to it I would love to have you join me and my friends.

update july ct scan
i have been off chemo since feb waiting for my metestatic uterine cancer to flair up. as promised, tumor markers increased and ct showed significant progression. we returned to the first combo that shrunk everything last year, taxol/carboplatin. i started this regimen july 17. i will get three treatments then another ct scan. if making progress we will continue with the last three treatments. most of the time i will get them every three weeks with a delay so we can go to captiva island fla with danny and donelle. really looking forward to that. i will be bald for the third time in a couple of weeks. yes i know it's just hair.
this is my forth round. i am afraid the doc's predictions are coming true too soon, that my life will be shorter. don't want to borrow trouble but i know reality too.
i try to live life well and trust God. yet i know most do not get their miracle. i need peace and strength for the road ahead, whatever that is. i am not giving up so don't think that. i still have too much to experience.
