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.
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.
your wife had ovarian cancer?
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.
