Prognosis for Stage IIC ovarian cancer

Does anyone else have, or know of others who have received a diagnosis of Stage 3-C ovarian cancer. Can you give me any info on what the prognosis is like for this stage of the disease?

Stats are only numbers.  There are many women with stage 3C and stage 4 that have beaten the odds.  I know two women, stage 3C one a 22 year survivor the other a 15 year survivor.

Don't concentrate on the numbers....concentrate on life!!!

Best of luck.

Sorry for the error in my post - I do mean Stage 2-C, not Stage 3. Thanks for your comment and the link you sent. I will check it out.

Your qustion subject says 2C and your post says 3C.  Obviously, the higher the stage, the more advanced the disease.  3C means there is disease greater than 2cm left in the pelvis.  2C means there are cancer cells in the abdominal fluid washings.  Just keep in mind that age, past health, proper surgery, tumor cell type etc. influence each individual case and we aren't just "stats." :) Here is a link to a page that does give some stats though:
