Matt, my mother just celebrated her 10th anniversary as a survivor of ovarian cancer. The surgery and treatment were brutal. She was diagnosed in early stage 3.
A cancer diagnosis is not automatically a death sentence. With treatment, and especially when caught early, people can live long, happy and wonderful lives.
I know it's hard when a parent is sick, but stay strong and keep supporting your mom with lots of love.
Good luck and God bless you both.Health Question & Answer

it depends on how well your mom will keep responding to her treatments. i wouldn't be too alarmed that the tumor grew a bit, it's fairly common. if your mom continues to do well with her treatments (and if she doesn't have end-stage cancer), she could live for many more years, but then again she may not. only time will tell. best of luck to her and your family.Health Question & Answer
