Paula Shares How Scary It Was Watching Her Daughter Battle Ovarian Cancer (VIDEO)

Paula:

She developed ascites that had to be drained from her abdomen. She developed lymphedema in her legs. She had pain all the time. They finally put in a pain pump in her abdominal cavity when she was in one of her hospitalizations. She just went through torture, and just watching that for two years and going with her, and one of the times she was having chemo, I was having chemo.

So Sam was going back and forth between the two of us because my other chemos were very debilitating. My first chemo I had been transfused three times because my red count dropped so low.
