I was wondering if after going through a second surgery for ovarian cancer and chemo, what is the posibility that I might acheive at least NED???

Currently going through chemo (gemzar, avasitin, carboplatin) and on my 6th chemo found out that I am allergic to carboplatin. The first go round i was allergic to taxol. My nurses told me they've never met anyone that was allergic to both.

    NED is short for "no
    NED is short for "no evidence of disease." it's generally considered to be the same thing as remission.

    I don't know what the actual statistics are, but I know that it's not all that rare to achieve a second or even a third remission.

    2nd remission here!
    I had a recurrence and am about 8 months into my second remission. All is possible!

    Hugs and Hope!
