Surgery 4/23 moved to 4/30

What's My Mom's best option?
Dear Message Board Readers: My 78-year old mother has been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer--she seems to be in a stage III situation, with tumors the size of oranges (11 centimeters) growing in each ovary, lots of fluid (distended stomach, ferocious discomfort although no pain), possible bowel obstruction. My mom isn't in…

WEBSITE
I received another emailing apologizing for the problems. They have forwarded the information to their technical team and say hopefully it may be a 'glitch' that can be taken care of. It's a tiny, tiny bit faster, but still dragging much too long. (((HUGS))) Monika

Last Chemo done.... survivorship begins
Last week Thursday was my last chemo. I cant believe I have actually managed to get to that point. Six months ago it seemed like it was the beginning of the most awful ordeal in my life - and it was, but I have reached the end, and I have survived. And I will keep on going. I am more tired that I ever thought was possible.…

Need your opinion - recurrence
Hi. Previously posted as new member - in recurrence. I met with my doc today to go over the CT results. I have a small mass in the pelvic area. I have 2 options - chemo alone or surgery and chemo. The surgery should delay the next recurrence but by no means prevent it. What is your opinion on what option I should take? By…

When I showed up for treatment, I got the small…
