<br />
<br />
Recently it was the 3 year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. I celebrated with a beautiful dinner out with my husband Paul.<br />
<br />
It was a moment of celebration and also reflection of the incredibly hard times we have all been through as a family, but have managed to get through as well as we can.<br />
<br />
I've also stopped chemo for a while. Its a very strange feeling.....<br />
I went in for my routine scans during maintenance chemo and then in to my meeting with my oncologist, where she said after 20 months of clear scans it was time to stop chemo for three months and see what happens. She never thought we would be at this point and neither did I.<br />
<br />
I was elated! I was so over chemo!!!! I know I had to have it but I really was completely worn out physically and emotionally after 2 years straight of monthly chemo treatments.<br />
<br />
I remained on the hormone blocker so was still on some treatment, but the side effects are nothing compared to pumping chemical into your body every month.<br />
<br />
I've enjoyed the last three months without chemo immensely and when it came time to have my next scan I had totally prepared myself to be going back in for chemo and for my cancer to have relapsed.<br />
<br />
The scan was clear!<br />
<br />
I was happy to hear this but I'm not sure I was emotionally prepared for this. I didn't leave the room fist pumping. It's very hard to explain to someone who hasn't been through this.<br />
<br />
Paul was quite cross with me. Why didn't I appear happier?<br />
<br />
The thing is Ovarian Cancer is not curable. I have another scan in three months time and that is always hanging over your head. My cancer will return it is just a matter of when.<br />
<br />
Life with chemo was somewhat altered for me so that I avoided risky situations of infection and had time to recover. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely grateful every day to be alive!!<br />
<br />
So where to now? Its like I'm in limbo. Living life but not quite to the fullest.......<br />
<br />
In Australia one woman dies every ten hours from ovarian cancer.<br />
The <a href="https://ocrf.com.au/">Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation</a> is working hard to support finding a cure and developing an early detection test for ovarian cancer. To find out more visit the <a href="https://ocrf.com.au/">OCRF</a>.<br />

Today is <a href="http://www.whiteshirtcampaign.com.au/" target="_blank">White Shirt Day</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://ocrf.com.au/" target="_blank">Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation</a> and <a href="http://www.witchery.com.au/" target="_blank">Witchery</a> have teamed up to help raise ovarian cancer awareness and vital funds for the development of an early detection test.<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"> </span><br />
<br />
I share my story in the hope it might help save even just one life.................<br />
<br />
9 months ago aged 34 years old I was given the news that I had Ovarian Cancer.<br />
<br />
Over a year earlier I hit the Michelle Bridges bandwagon and decided to get super fit and healthy.<br />
30 kgs lighter and feeling fabulous I discovered a lump in my abdomen that I could not feel before.<br />
A few trips to the doctor who suspected a hernia and a referral to a specialist reconstructive surgeon, who could fix it and my large abdominal wall separation, led me to have an MRI.<br />
<br />
They found what they thought were Endometriomas and one of the worst cases of Endometriosis they'd seen.<br />
<br />
So off to a Gynecologist and a routine procedure to 'clean up' the Endo. Whilst in surgery my ovaries were biopsied. Thank goodness they were.... Thankyou Dr Simona Fischer!<br />
<br />
On top of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and Endometriosis, I had Ovarian Cancer. Me? Really? I didn't have any symptoms. Or did I?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
A week later I had a Radical Hysterectomy. I was so incredibly grateful for my two children and for having them when I was in my mid twenties. The lump in my abdomen turned out to be a tumor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Next it was 18 weeks of chemo once a week in Adelaide. I was lucky enough to have access to the 'Cold Cap' meaning I didn't lose the hair on my head. Those who say 'your hair doesn't matter' you have no idea! I just wanted to look as normal for my children as possible and to feel as normal as I could.<br />

Those of you who follow me on <a href="http://instagram.com/thewhiteshed" target="_blank">Instagram</a> will know that I've been a little excited by the purchase of our very own little 'city pad'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We used to own an apartment at North Adelaide before children but sold that to be mortgage free whilst raising little boys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's always been a dream of our to have a little single fronted cottage close to the city. We've always kept our eye on the market and had been waiting for the right property to come up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We toyed with the idea of new of more modern properties, but that's just not us!</div>

We missed out on a few I had my heart set on but this one is now ours. It's TINY but in a fabulous location, less than a km to the city, close to beautiful shops and restaurants.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look forward to sharing our transformation with you! Any guesses what colour I am painting the maroon?</div>

Happy 6th Birthday to my beautiful baby boy Tommy!</div>

You are the funniest, cuddliest boy ever and I love you to bits. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A year ago our home graced the pages on SA Life Magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The past year has been pretty full on (as if it wasn't enough so before).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since shutting 'the shed' I have been overwhelmed with the growth of the <a href="http://www.thewhiteshed.com.au/" target="_blank">online store</a>. When I embarked on the journey I never thought it would end up as a full time job! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like many other mums out there I am still struggling with the balance of being a mother and working full time. But I am exceptionally grateful to be able to work from home. The flexibility to constantly reshuffle my working hours to suit as activities with the boys changes each week is brilliant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always wanted to commit time to reading or helping at school and this still remains one of my favourtie things to do each week. I am very lucky that my boys attend a fabulous little country school where I have known many of the kids since birth and I love seeing all of them developing in to great little people each week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There still seems to be a misconception that when you work from home you don't actually work, but this is one I am hoping some will wake up to one day! Perhaps some people are a little conservative or old fashioned or maybe they don't realise the power of the internet yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If any of you out there have any juggling tips please send them my way. I am still have a lot to learn!</div>

Nine years ago on this day I walked down the aisle of the Scotch College Chapel and said I do to the love of my life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where have the past nine years gone?..............</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A 6 month overseas trip, house renovation, apartment purchase and sale, first child, house build (during seeding with a small baby), second child and new business. There have been some great and not so great times (2 screaming babies with reflux and allergies certainly tested the marriage).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now life is really good. </div>

Harvest is nearing completion. It has run relatively smoothly. I think!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It seems to have flown by. Things have been busy with the boy's school and sporting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
commitments and I have had my busiest ever months in the shed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

There have been a few fires in the district this year. There was a big fire yesterday about </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
70kms South of us. I could see the smoke from our verandah. I always feel </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
uneasy on the hot and windy days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had one Catastrophic Fire Ban Day declared. On this day some schools in the area close and the school buses don't run.</div>

The boys, especially Tommy are obsessed with farming!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Reception and Year 1 class at our school has a group who all take their toy tractors, headers and trucks and play 'farms'every lunchtime. A few farmers of the future I think!</div>

A while ago I decided I needed a little lift for my tiring blue sofa and wing chairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had these made over 7 years ago before we were even in our new home and although I probably wouldn't choose the same fabrics now they still work really well in this room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are getting quite worn but instead of getting them recovered right away I thought</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I 'd give them a lift with some new cushions.</div>
