Thank you for writing. My mom is visiting me now. She will be with us for 2 weeks before starting chemo. She certainly is always in a good mood. As I write she is playing with my daughter. I don't know if she has clear cell or not and she doesn't know either. I will call her doctor tomorrow and ask. My mother's doctor told her there is another woman in his practice who is around my mom's age that has had this for 7 years and is doing fine but has to push back the cancer ever year with chemo. My mom seems to tolerate chemo pretty well. My mom is going to have Carbo this time for 6 sessions 4 weeks apart.
Keep in touch and let me know how your mom is doing.

Hi, I feel you pain, confusion and hope for your mom to see your child grow up. My mom was dx July07 and Aug 07 had the surgery. She did 8 rounds of chemo and now they are starting her on maintence of Taxol for one year. He spirits have been amazing thru this whole process. She was a 3B clear cell Rt tube completely eroded and sm amt in Lt appendix and residual was 2mm on the lining of rectum. Her CA125 was neg pre-post surgery. What cell type was your mom? They tell us that clear cell is the hardest to cure and reoccurs. I wish you all the best and will keep her in our prayers.
