Our 74 year-old nanny has just been diagnosed via biopsy with fallopian tube cancer. Her children live an hour and a half away so my wife and I have been providing moral assistance and helping her sort through her medical decisions. Unfortunately, we are not cancer novices as my wife is successfully battling brain cancer. I would like to hear any advice that you have for a newly-diagnosed patient. The treatment plan currently calls for surgery (advice on finding the right surgeon would be appreciated) and the reevaluate based on pathology. I am also curious as to markers, chemo drugs, use of radiation, etc. Her mother is 99 and still living independently and she is otherwise healthy. Thank you for your help.
