You definitely stand a chance at remission.  Cure is unlikely, unfortunately.  However, many new drugs coming are being worked on .. so who knows what's in the future.

Good luck and God Bless

Many here have experienced very similar conditions as yours.  You definitely stand a chance for remission, at Stage IIIC cure is not likely.  Remission can last for years and when the disease comes back, there are many treatments available to prolong your life.  Make sure you are treated by a gynecological oncologist, this is VERY important.
All the best,
