I need encouraging words
by avery, Jan 03, 2003 12:00AM
I am a twenty-one year female with oravian epithelial cancer stage three. I been fighting this battle for the past year and half to no avail. The chemo treatment I am currently take is carbonplatin and taxol. I feel I am at a stand still with my treatments, and not heading in the direction I want to be going. Is there any other treatment I should be looking into to get this cancer under control.

Try to be hopeful. My Mother-in-law was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 1983 -- a very grim diagnosis at the time. But, she took the "experimental" chemo offered in Bufflo (she traveled from Erie to get it) and lived 16 years "in remission" cancer-free -- long enough to see both sons marry and her grand-daughter born. Her doc said she "died of old age." (Heart failure.) She was 73. Not so old, but a lot older than 57!
