    sorry

    I to am fighting Clear Cell and have looked at alternative treatments. I have not found any alternative for the clear cell. Do look at studies around you I am doing so myself, as I am fighting a recurrence with less then a yr before the recurrence. There is some genetic studies going on see if there is one near you. I wish you luck

    Anad, I am sorry to hear news

    Anad, I am sorry to hear news.

    I think one of the ladies has done INTEGRATED treatment in addition to traditional treatment and posts here quite often.  Some ladies work with a naturopath as well.  Work with a gynecologic oncologist and listen to what they have to say.

    There may be things beyond trials ----

    There is another forum (Inspire.com) where several people have posted about 1) hypotherimic (sp?) chemo, and 2) another with High Dosage Vitamin C.  I have no idea if they are OCCC, nor do I have a sense about the inegrity of those but these posts have been on an ovarian cancer forum.  One person is geeting her treatment in Germany.   In addition to the dose dense Carbo/Taxol, I meet with a naturapath for the sole purpose of making sure that I can do as much good while poisioning myself with chemo. Today (see my post today) I feel that is not working all that great.... and have a prescheduled meeting with the oncologist office tomorrow to before I begin Round 3....

    Integrative treatments

    I was not diagnosed with clear cell, but I relied heavily on integrative doctors and naturopaths during and after treatment.  I can't say enough good things about how well this option worked for me.  My gyn/onc did not think chemo would work for me, but it did, and I have been in remission for 7 years.  It is certainly a very personalize approach as it addresses your unique imbalances and symptoms.  If you can arrange it, I highly recommend finding a skilled integrative practitioner to be on your team.
