My journey with cancer started in 1999. My husband and I moved to our Orcas Island dream home in September. In November I read an article about ovarian cancer and its symptoms – I had them! In December I underwent surgery and was given a diagnosis of Stage IV ovarian cancer.
 
Post-surgery I started chemo and continued until May 2004. After several negative CAT Scans and stable CA-125, my family and physician agreed I needed a break. It was nice to grow some hair. I experienced a relapse mid-2006. A course of Carbo/Taxol shrunk the tumors and I remain in remission today.
 
In 2001, my husband Carl (my caregiver, lover and friend) was diagnosed with prostate cancer which was successfully treated. We will be celebrating our 48th wedding anniversary in June 2011 and plan on celebrating many more in good health.
 
Our children and grandchildren have been there for us during every step of our recoveries. Our SummeRun team, The Warriors, is composed of the seven members of the Poschman clan.
