It's not the drug that's the problem it's the type of cancer. Like my wife what Elly had is rare and difficult to treat plus it typically does not display any early symptoms so it's usually not caught until it's late stage.Body Positive Model Elly Mayday Dies at 30 from Ovarian Cancer

Damn that's too young.
Screening is all about time and money. What we can do is concentrate on making tests simpler and maybe the ability to do more at once.

They don't say specifically what kind of ovarian cancer she had but I'm guessing it was a carcinosarcoma basically a cancer that has the characteristics of both a carcinoma and a sarcoma. Carcinomas are common and the most easily treated, sarcomas are rare and often difficult to treat.
No, she has uterine cancer a Leiomyosarcoma. Just over four years ago when they discovered it the did a full hysterectomy and declared her cured........ Last October we discovered that it wasn't cured and by now had reached stage 4, lungs, kidney and spleen. She started Chemo at the beginning of the year, just finished the third chemo cycle so should have a CAT Scan soon to see if the chemo has done any good. Because she couldn't work she was terminated from her job and the medical insurance went away at the start of this month. We're working on getting some assistance though.It's not the drug that's the problem it's the type of cancer.

We're keeping a positive attitude that she's one of the 16% survival rate individuals at this stage and even then it is never "cured", reoccurance rates are high. Due to the insurance issue she's being transferred up to UNM Albuquerque for continued treatment.No, she has uterine cancer a Leiomyosarcoma.

i was asking because my sister passed from ovarian cancer.
i'll keep my fingers crossed that your wife & you get good news.

Actually I misquoted, it's 16%. The problem with leiomyosarcoma is it's rare so it's not as heavily studied as carcinomas. The Doc she'll be going to we've already seen up at UNM Cancer Center and has been a Gynecological Oncologist for almost 30 years and they's making huge stride in treating cancer even in the last five years. We keep a positive attitude and prayers going, not just for her but for all who are suffering from cancer. Heck, just one of the chemo drugs she gets is $24,000 for a six month treatment..........We're keeping a positive attitude that she's one of the 9% survival rate individuals at this stage and even then it is never "cured", reoccurance rates are high.

there should never be an issue with insurance... but that is a topic for another thread. 9% is better than 8, or 7 or 6... & you make sure to take care of you too....
