    Aw Karen I am so sorry to
    Aw Karen I am so sorry to read your news. Can you try Carbo/taxol again? I know that is a big hitter.Well just carry on with the Gemazar and you just never know - it may be the drug that works. It is all about finding a way to live with this, to have a good quality of life for as long as possible.

    But don't forget you have 9 more drugs to try. 9!! That is alot of choices and options to go at.

    I think about you often, sending you lots of love Tina xxx

    tina...thank you so much for
    tina...thank you so much for all your kind thoughts.....i've read your profile and you remind me so much of ME....we've shared a lot of the same experiences. i will keep you in my prayers ..... all the best....karen

    carlene.. you hit the nail
    carlene.. you hit the nail on the head...i knew going in what the real deal is...i guess i was just hoping that this doctor would give me SOME glimmer of hope. his first words were...."when you are having this many pet/catscans you're in big trouble!" but for him to basically tell me to give up if the gemzar doesn't work was (i think) out of line. it's up to me to decide when i've had enough. i have adopted your philosophy about all of this being out of my control. only God knows so i'm leaving it in His hands.....thank you for all your support and best wishes and prayers to you....karen

    I agree
    I agree that I would definately take all 9 drugs and by then there may be some new ones. If it were possible I think I would just go talk to another doctor. Prayers are sent and hugs are coming your way. Giving up is not an option!

    Hi Karen,

    You sure do have too much to live for. I love your beautiful spirit and your GUTS.

    I recently found out about a program that specializes in treating stage IV ovarian cancer:

    I heard the treatment was very expensive and only has anecdotal evidence.

    it is a lot
    I'm sorry Karen, it is a lot to absorb. One day at a time. Your doctor is right, there are new things coming out all the time. Try to stay positive and strong.

    Karen, my prayers are with
    Karen, my prayers are with you tonight and every night as long as you need them. I believe in the power of prayer and more so, in the power of positive thinking. Allow yourself to cry a little, then pick yourself up and say 'what's my next move'. You keep making the decisions, don't let your disease do it for you.
