Hi Barb,
My name is Lyn. I live in Florida. My mother was diagnosed with primary peritoneal cancer in January of 2006. Unfortunately she passed away 6 weeks ago (October 21, 2007) after a very long and courageous battle. She wnent through 3 different types of chemo. First she did the Taxol/Carbo cocktail every 3 weeks. The cancer seemed to be under control and then 3 months later it was back. She then had Doxcil every month for a while until it stopped working. The last thinhg we tried was Topetecan. She had to go every week and she went through 1 1/2 rounds of it. Fianlly in Aug the doctor said there was nothing more they could do and gave her 3-6 months. My mother was 77. I have heard of people surviving longer in the research I have done and all the people I have talked to. Please email me if you like! My thoughts and prayers are with you!
Lyn
