Ovarian cancer most often presents in stage III, of which over 50% of cases. In short, stage 3 diagnosis means that cancer is in one or both ovaries and spread to other parts of the abdominal des This is a serious challenge for any bear, but even though it may seem overwhelming at first, as I write this article a measure of hope for those who are going through right now.
Ten years ago I met a woman, called the "Lisa" wasdiagnosed with ovarian cancer stage 3. She had no risk factors of the disease was going to her annual gynecological examinations and screening for their hard work, and has never lost her annual mammogram. Unfortunately it was not about the early warning signs could be seen with indigestion, bloating, pelvic pain and sorrow, and a change in their menstrual period. It was realized that the signs and symptoms should be looking for, they would see a doctorearlier and could be the difference in phase 1 and phase 3 were. But she did not know to look for symptoms.
When finally diagnosed, he had surgery to remove a large tumor, and then 6 sessions of chemotherapy over a period of 15 weeks. During this time he heard the prognosis of his doctor (not great) and researched the disease, the discovery of 5-year survival rate was approximately 20%. But she was a strong woman and she was determined to see his three children grow upup, finish college, has a career and a family to him. She was determined to defeat this disease. He changed a few things in his life, exercise at least once a day, drinking more water and eat healthy. Of course I had to go for checks every few months for the first year, then every 6 months.
Only a few months Lisa was the most beautiful news. He went for regular check on their oncologists office, and learned that they weresigns of disease (known as NED) for 10 years, is now healed and she was discharged from the care doctor.
If you are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in stage 3 has not been read once because the statistics are not the number. Especially in these times is so easy to find negative information on the web. I will tell you that I have is the reason why people believe in the power to go with their problems and are rarely talk about thingsare great in their lives. So I wanted to share this with everyone. Take the heart of the story of Lisa and know that a cure is possible for anyone, no matter what the numbers say.
