Treatment and Risk

[Vishnu786]

Micropapillary serous carcinoma with multiple foci of microinvasion but Capsule is intact.

My wife is 29..She was has been diagnosed with Micropapillary serous carcinoma with multiple foci of microinvasion which we found out while we were expecting our 2nd child...3rd month of Pregnancy. Doctors said that she had to operate as she had an ovarian cyst which was growing. They operated her and removed both the ovaries and uterus. Now they say that she needs to be given chemo therapy.
She is has already been operated on the kidney for her kidney stones when she was 8yrs old( she has weak kidney) and also a sinus problem.

I need some help to understand if at all there is any alternative medicine without giving her chemo.

Chemo is not the end of the world.  Most of the women on the forum seem to have had chemo and, even if it's tough, it's better to fight cancer aggressively than be sorry that you didn't.  Chemo is not always tough, either, as every patient is different.  

Please do the research, get a second opinion if you need to be sure you're doing the right thing, and then act.  Also, be sure that your wife makes the final decision as it is her life.  

Best of luck to you

I am extremely sorry to hear of your wife's dx.  I am not exactly sure what it all means.  Just as an FYI, there is an MD who is very very good at explanations on chemotherapy and answers quickly.  He is located on the Expert Forum, under Ovarian Cancer and a subtitle of chemotherapy.  His name is Kamal Saini, MD and at this moment, he is pictured to the right of this message under "Expert Activity.  He would be one very good source of information from the chemotherapy standpoint.  I wish you luck and God's blessings.
