My sister has advanced serous ovarian cancer. Just had an operation but it was unsuccessful as the cancer had spread too much. Major laparotomy for nothing. What hope now? Maybe a second opinion?
Drug therapy only way forward but don’t know where to get advice
Hi Nikki H and welcome o the community and this group.
I’m sorry to read that your sister’s operation was unsuccessful-that must have been difficult for you all to hear.
I wasn’t sure what you were looking for when talking about drug therapy, but this link here will take you to information about getting a second opinion.
Has your sister’s doctor given a plan for any treatment going forward?
This link gives information about possible treatments for advanced cancer
I hope this might help as a starting point for you.
