• “It’s Gone!”

  March 2, 2020 by jlhindman73

  I heard the words, “it’s gone” back in mid-February. Praise the Lord! I am forever grateful to my incredible medical team, gifted surgeon, Dr. Lowery and talented oncologist, Dr. Moore. I’m grateful to my family, friends, and co-workers who have all been super supportive and encouraging these last six months. I will continue to be… Read more

• Faces of a Warrior

  January 25, 2020 by jlhindman73

  Every warrior’s greatest fear is failure, but the greatest pain is regret. Of course you think of failure when faced with adversity, but I decided in the beginning I was a warrior and I didn’t want to have any regrets. And that meant doing what I was instructed to do with the utmost trust in… Read more

  January 3, 2020 by jlhindman73

  This is a sweet photo of me and my dad on Christmas Day that my sister snapped. I had no idea that she had taken the photo until she randomly sent it to me a few days later. I had pulled off my hat and laughed that my dad and I could be twins! Yes,… Read more

• Back at it again

  December 13, 2019 by jlhindman73

  I haven’t posted in awhile so this is a catch up! My surgical pathology results came back negative for any viable malignancy and I was released to return to work on this past Monday! Thank goodness too, because I was starting to be bored out of my mind! I had a great week at work… Read more

• Just saying “hi”

  November 26, 2019 by jlhindman73

  As many of you know, I had surgery last Monday to remove any residual cancer that was remaining. Surgery did go as planned. Actually, better than planned. The CT from November 6th showed a significant reduction and marked improvement in the cancer and that’s exactly what my surgeon saw once he got inside my abdomen… Read more

• CT Results

  Just a quick and simple update tonight. I received encouraging news today from my CT results. The scan showed MARKED improvement and near resolution. Yes, marked!

• Wigs, Hats, & Eyelashes

  November 3, 2019 by jlhindman73

  Early on, as in the first weekend after I was diagnosed, my awesome sister Megan and one of my besties Telina went with me wig shopping. Believe it or not, there are not a lot of wig shops in Indiana. I stumbled along a pretty fantastic one in Greenwood, Wigs We Care. They had over… Read more

• Next Steps…

  November 3, 2019 by jlhindman73

  I have a lot going on this week in preparation for surgery on November 18th. Tomorrow is my pre-op intensivist appointment to be cleared for surgery and Wednesday is a big day as my first CT post starting chemo is scheduled.

• Friends

  October 28, 2019 by jlhindman73

  I can’t imagine going through this journey without friends. I have had such an outpouring of love and support from friends in all aspects of my work, community, and life that it has been overwhelming to feel so loved. I know I am on countless prayer lists and on many hearts and minds. This gives… Read more

• Ovarian Cancer

  September 13, 2019 by jlhindman73

  Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. What is ovarian cancer and how do you get it without ovaries? There’s a lot of information out there on the web as I found out early on. Some of it more reliable than others. After a lot of scary information, I decided to quit… Read more
