We've Got Your Back Nicole!

On August 22, 2018 I received the dreaded call that I have Stage 3A Seromucinous Carcinoma Ovarian Cancer.  It all started with a swollen belly, and on July 27, 2018 after a Dr. visit and ultrasound, it was discovered that there was a huge mass that needed to be removed.  A CT scan and lots of bloodwork later, surgery was scheduled.  On August 14, 2018 surgery was performed at Froedtert Hospital in Milwaukee.  They removed my ovaries that had a 16 cm mass (left) and a 6.5 cm mass (right).  They also removed some pelvic lymph nodes to biopsy that came back as cancer.  A port was placed September 6th and September 11th, during the first round of chemotherapy, I had a major allergic reaction which caused me to be rushed to the E.R. to be stabilized.  I will have chemo every 3 weeks and will be doing 6 rounds.  Hopefully, after the chemo is done, I will only need to return every 3 months!! - Nicole.
Family, friends and co-workers that love and support Nicole through this fight hope for generous others to make it a little easier for them!!!  Thank you!!
