Survivor
I have had LMP Ovca for 11 years with numerous reocurrences. The reocurrences have return between shorter intervals and the disease is moving up my body cavity with last surgery remove tumour from my chest wall. The disease has now change in nature and is now invasive with implants being found in my sternum.
The problem with this disease there is not enough know about how to treat it. Most research goes into Breast cancer and Ovca is the poor black sheep of the Cancer family.
This disease kills many women but no one is doing much as per treatment and cure. Lets concentrate on this disease because believe me this disease is killing many women, mothers, aunts, granmothers, sisters by the hour.
