Granulosa Cell Cancer

Subject: Granulosa Survivor
Date: 06/01/2005
I am an 18yr survivor of granulosa cell, currently in my 3rd occurence. My first @ age 37 resulted in 3 surgeries including radical hys. Second, 12yrs later w/ tumor on the pancreas, required extensive surgeries. Last month, 5 yrs after the 2nd, 1 major tumor & 6 other cancer "spots" surrounding the bowel, resulted in bowel resection and debulking. During the 2nd occurence I also had standard ovarian cancer protocol (Bleomycin,Etopeside, Cisplatin). Now the onco team says those treatments may have killed some of the cancer but that because granulosa is a "slow growing" cell, the cancer cells are able to lie dormant and unresponsive to chemo. That's why we keep getting this disease years later (unlike most ovarians that are more aggresive). I'm also a board member of the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance and am putting out a search for granulosa survivors to try and gather info that might help us survive. The promising thing for your daughter is that it is possible to live a long time with this condition if one is diligent about monitoring it. Can you think of some way to help you or daughter?
