Read CJ’s stage iiiC ovarian cancer survivor story, spread to the liver, or share your ovarian cancer survivor stories.

 

CJ emphasizes why you need to have a dog when you want to survive cancer:

 

I’m trying some new techniques of healing my soul with my dog.

 

Seems Patrick Swayze who is being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer also expressed to Barbara Walters:

"gotta have my dog".

 

Which brings our holistic cancer treatment approach to:

 

 

Why do you need to add your cancer survival story?

 

When father was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer, everybody was telling me that this was a terminal cancer. Not having anybody to tell me wrong, it took us 2 years to find out that there are ways of surviving secondary liver cancer.

 

All we have to do now is finding all the factors that can help in treating cancer in stead of trying to find the magic pill modern medicine just doesn’t succeed in.

 

And believe me, I would be happy if somebody would find a new cancer treatment that happens to be the magic pill. But after so many years of research, we better start using an holistic approach for curing cancer.

 

You are not alone!

 

The more we learn from each other:

 

 

Ovarian cancer, like any other cancer, could be closer to you than you think. My neighbor and some of my former colleagues underwent ovarian cancer surgery.

 

And the late mother of President Barack Obama: Stanley Ann Dunham passed away with ovarian cancer and uterine cancer:

In the fall of 1994, Ann was having dinner at her friend Patten’s house in Jakarta when she felt a pain in her stomach.

 

A local doctor diagnosed indigestion.

 

When Ann returned to Hawaii several months later, she learned it was ovarian and uterine cancer. She died on Nov. 7, 1995, only at 52 years old.

 

Ovarian cancer stages

 

The following stages are used for ovarian cancer. CJ has stage iiiC ovarian cancer that has spread to the liver, which makes her our 6th metastatic liver cancer survivor.

 

Stage I Ovarian Cancer

 

In stage I, the cancer is found in one or both of the ovaries.

 

Stage I is divided into stage IA, stage IB, and stage IC.

 

 

Stage II Ovarian Cancer

 

In stage II, the cancer is found in one or both ovaries and has spread into other areas of the pelvis.

 

Stage II is divided into stage IIA, stage IIB, and stage IIC.

 

 

Stage III Ovarian Cancer

 

In stage III, the cancer is found in one or both ovaries and has spread to other parts of the abdomen. The spread of cancer cells to the surface of the liver is also considered stage III disease.

 

Stage III is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.

 

 

Stage IV Ovarian Cancer

 

In stage IV, cancer cells are found in one or both ovaries and have metastasized (spread) beyond the abdomen to other parts of the body. Cancer cells are found in the tissues of the liver.

 

CJ’s ovarian cancer survivor story

 

CJ left this comment at What has the Holocaust in common with cancer and medical insurance companies?

 

I am actually a stage IIIc Ovarian Cancer where my cancer has spread to other organs such as the Liver.

 

Wow! It really seems that many insurance companies don’t seem ethical at all when it comes to actually saving lives from cancer.

 

Many feel that its your death sentence and wait for you to die from the disease. This is so unfortunate.

 

I have survived 6 years and plan to survive many more.

 

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Thanks for providing many of us hope as we battle on!

 

Ovarian cancer survivor stories summarized

 

Please add your ovarian cancer survivor stories, especially when the cancer spread to the liver.

 

We would love to hear from CJ which cancer treatments she used. We do see chemotherapy, an upbeat spirit, cannabis as one of the many alternative cancer treatments (completely legal in The Netherlands) and… a dog!
