re: Ovarian cancer treatment

Thank you. Will do later today or this weekend. You can take your email address off if you would like. I wrote it down. Again, thank you.

I really appreciate all the positive thoughts, stories, and prayers.

We are scared, but but strong and anxious to kick this cancers butt. I believe in the power of positive thinking so I continue to stsy positive for my mom.

Does anyone have any experience with this? Any help, suggestions, prayers, positive stories are very much appreciated right now. We have a big, crazy family and huge support system around us. We are willing to do anything to help her through this.

I've dated two people with it. It's a terrible, horrible disease. Both of them ultimately had their ovaries removed, even though one beat it out right. She said it wasn't worth freaking out every single time something didn't feel right down there.

Damn, good luck. Cancer is a fricked up disease. Spend whatever money you guys can get and try to have her see the best specialist in the world.

Sorry to hear cork. Good luck to your family and your mom.

Thank you. Such a nice offer. Just prayers please

This may sound stupid but the cath lab I work in also does biopsies and mtx chemo....you mentioned your mom was in good shape. Now would be a good time to maybe put on a few pounds. Eventually treatment may cause her to lose weight and her appetite might be gone. If a pt is terribly malnourished it may slow treatment options. Enjoy fine restaurants and decadent meals to add the weight so the family gets an excuse to get together. Good Luck and I hope it is still just local. I see lots of people beat CA. Heres hoping your moms one of them.

Good luck to y'all

CA125 count in blood work helps.not sure why it isn't done on a routine basis. Would ptpb have saved my mother in law.
