My wife had surgery today she has ovarian cancer surgeon said late stage 2. Said they removed all of it and will need Chemo does she have a good chance beating it? Thanks in advance from anyone that wants to share their opinion.

Sorry for her, and you. She needs the mineral selenium. Check out its need for women.

That’s a much better question for your wife’s doc than a bunch of us idiots on the fire. I pray she beats it tho. Cancer took my 1st wife at 43 - leukemia.

God Bless we will be praying for her. If you want to look up a Doctor Stanislaw Burzynski. He has a clinic outside houston. I hate as that he has had success curing different cancers.

Maybe my wife's wasn't as advanced, but after her emergency complete hysterectomy she has been cancer free for years.

There's hope, & hope for the best.

Hell yeah she has a good chance on beating it. I know a gal that had stage 3 O cancer and she's still kicking 15 years later, My wife had stage 3 breast cancer, it's been 6 years now and she's still yellin' at me.

Please tell her I said to "Kick Cancers ASS!! No prisoners!!"

Praying for a full recovery from her cancer! memtb

God I hope that your Bride prevails over this cancer Riverc...............

F-CK CANCER

I’d say that YES! Your wife has an excellent prognosis and I pray that you both live a long happy life together, this is merely a speed bump on the road of life and eventually it’ll be nothing more than a distant memory. If the doctors believe that they “got it all” and they’re satisfied with the surgery then I’d feel damn good about it if I were you guys. Radiation and/or chemotherapy will be the final nail in the coffin of her cancer and you’ll be stuck with one another for the rest of your time on earth. 😉

There’s most definitely power in positive thinking but nothing like the real power of PRAYER….which, coincidentally you have from here!

That sucks....good luck.

Good for your wife. Hope all goes well.

The surgical staging of excised malignant masses and the five year survival rates are based on a one to four scale, one being the best, four the worst. Late stage two usual indicates some but minimal local spread but without metastatic spread to other organs, usually requiring some chemo and or radiation. There are the newer immunotherapies, too. Survival rates for Stage one are 90+%, Stage two usually 80-90%. It gets worse very quickly with Stages 3&4. Has she had a PET scan? Results? What exact cancer is stated on the pathology report?

Prayers.

Not sure on your 2 questions hopefully will find out more tomorrow.

River,
Please know that you have a whole bunch of very good people on this board praying for your wife and you, including my wife and me. Faith in the Lord is your strongest weapon against cancer.

My wife was recently diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma. It is the deadliest form of skin cancer. It killed the singer, Jimmy Buffet. In the last five years the knowledge base on this rare cancer has increased dramatically. The early treatments of Buffet were likely a major reason for his death. I’m saying this because it is vital that you get as educated as possible about the latest and best treatment options for your wife’s condition.

Best wishes and keep us posted!

Never hurts to pray. I sent up a prayer for her and you.

Blessings your way.

I would start doing some research and many late night reading hours devoted to white papers, studies, analysis.

That’s what I do

It’s incumbent upon you being the care giver or the patient to be long educated on science, terminology, treatments, pharma, breakthroughs, test cases and more.

Doctors (specialists) only devote a good 3-10 mins with a patient. I have caught them half assing treatment plans, recommended extended treatment options and surveillance. Even caught a near miss on them dosing me with iv contrast. The radiology tech was going to argue with me and I straightened her right the fouck out with a quickness. Ain’t trying to sound mean but people are going to have to turn off the John Wayne and Breitbart and get a hold of the reins.

Yep, you need to make a plan.
