I just read that MIT and New York's Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory are working on p53 gene. By activating this gene tumors shrink in some cases by 100%. While this study has only been done on mice, it offers hope for finding better ways to fight this disease. I am being treated at a cancer research center and they are making progress in many areas in cancer. Lets just hang in there.

Re: new research offers hope

Where are you being treated? My family want me to go somewhere since the Pleural effusion, I am just very anxious right now to get the scan and x-ray and see what my doctor says. Before they found this I had just started my break from chemo, I finished 6 rounds of carbo/taxetere Dec.27. My ca125 is still at 61 but my body needed a rest. I amazes me if this is cancer that the chemo didnt fight it.
