My mother was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer about 3 years ago. She had Chemo (Carbo-Platinum) and went into remission. This passed year she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. That was treated with radiation and it was also discovered that the Ovarian Cancer was out of remission. The cancer has spread to the wall of her lung.
She started Carbo Platinum about 2 months ago, but her last treatment resulted in serious allergic reaction. This passed Sunday I brough her in for a CAT scan to see how the Chemo was working. Today she is in for a treatment with a new drug, 2 weeks on, 1 week off.
Her doctor is located in Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in Manhattan. We live in Long Island.
Doctors seem to think she is doing well and this round of cancer is not nearly as bad as the first time. They said she almost did not make it through first round...scary
