haha... well thats simple. Live life to the fullest. You got a second chance at life so you might as well try things that you couldn't do while you were doing treatment. Like maybe sky diving, or swim somewhere exotic. Go see the 7 wonders. anything really.. just make sure youre not putting yourself in any real danger.

You didn't state your age. Well, live life to the fullest. I've seen many ovarian cancer survivors lamenting endlessly about 'what if' and 'why me' kind of stuff. Truly a waste of time.
And by the way, what stage are you? If it is a simple stage IA, get on with life as if nothing happened. If you are late stage, (Stage III or IV), then you are in a hurry.
Always try to do the 'one thing' that you had always wanted to do and would make you very happy and contented. If you ask me, I'd sell all my property, pack up and go backpacking around the globe.

you probably feel a mix of emotions! Think a little, Live a little. Some folks have a sort of guilty feeling, then euphoria, then another roller coast of emotions. Kinds confusing, you will sort it all out in time. Which is what you have. Enjoy life, take in and learn what you can, share with others, or spend time with yourself! Life will happen all day every day! You will just be more observant than most people around you! enjoy!

Have a good think about the things that matter to you. Things you might like to achieve or have a go at. Make a list and cross them off once you've done them.

Well do what keeps you happy, what keeps you going in life. Find something to believe in, something to fight for and when you do, pass it on to the future.
