I am an ovarian cancer survivor. I was diagnosed within 2005 when I was 54. I have a total hysterectomy and chemo. I joined an ovarian cancer support group previously I started chemo and that was one of the best gifts I give to myself. There were women contained by the group who were 17-25 year survivors of stage 3 cancer..,..,which vehicle they were diagnosed and have chemo 17-25 years ago when chemo was shoddier it is today. So YES THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY SURVIVABLE! Please check with your oncologist BEFORE chemo and ask if they hold ovarian cancer support groups in your town. I never looked-for to hear the "c" word....I had never have surgery, perfect condition, hate pills, so the thought of the "c" word, surgery and chemo.I be horrified. Cried the entire first visit to the cancer center. But, I enjoy to say, I hold had the flu that be worse than chemo...not that I would want it again,..but, it was not as bleak as I thought it would be. I will be happy to answer any question you have. NO STRESS,. Happy thoughts. This too shall intervene.
i wish the best of luck 2 ya!!
My daughter survived ovarian cancer.Chemo is diffrent for everyone.I hope you hold a good support system as this help so much with rescue.I'll be praying for you.Keep your chin up :)
There is only one cure for cancer.That is your immune system.Educate yourself on the internet nearly your bodies natural course of healing itself.
