Today my Aunt died from ovarain cancer. She was diagnosed two days ago and the doctors were preparing her for surgery on Friday. One doctor even came down to her hospital room to talk to her after she had passed-it happend so quickly! But, she was peaceful and not in any pain.

I'm an ovarian cancer survior...and now my Aunt is another victim. Here's to you Aunt Susan!! I love you.

I am so sorry you lost your Aunt Susan, and so suddenly. Hardly gave anyone time to get used to the idea of her cancer, did it? I know you are thankful she was not in pain.

Congrats on being a survivor.

I am so sorry for your loss. However, I am so glad to know though that she left this earth in peace, and did not have to suffer at the hand of this terrible disease. Strength and love to you and your family... and may you continue to hold your title as a survivor in her name. All my best to you--

I am so sorry.

I to am so sorry for your loss , what a terrible thing to have to go thru. What can you tell us about her diagnosis did they say what stage she was. Was she having issues before diagnosis I mean any symptoms. We all would like togo peacefully and with no pain . Again the best to you and your family.

My prayers to you and your family. I have to agree that it was a good thing that she left before suffering as so many do with this monster.

I am so sorry for your loss, you and your family will be in my prayers.

How awful. I am so sorry for you. Did she have any other illness that could have contributed to it? I really never heard of that happening and can't imagine how hard it must be for you. Prayers to you and your family.

sorry for your loss

I am sad to hear of your loss but hopefully she didn't have to suffer
for many years. Sincerely, Nancy

I am so sorry for your loss. At least she is in peace now

I am so sorry to hear about your aunt. I will say some prayers for you and your family.

Hi
My sister died this summer of ovarian cancer 3 weeks after she was diagnosed. she started complaining of pain about a month before that but blamed it on the air conditioning. Her symptoms were vague and then her abdomen blew up. she was far advanced and opted not to have treatment. I am sorry for your loss. It is so sudden and unexpected. I know what u went through. At least I had time to tell my sister how much I loved her.

I am so sorry for your sudden loss and keep you and the family in prayers. I wish you well on your continued journey. Mary
