Dan- Yes, some experiences with this condition are incredibly difficult, but I also have a fantastic quality of life. Inspite of all the surgeries, I have normal body functions, enjoy a rich and full married life, am active (golf, work out, grandma), eat normal foods and generally love life. There is much you should know about the chemo treatments for ovarian, particularly how to deal with side effects. They are tough but studies show that 50-60% of granulosa women respond to the chemo. As tough as it was, I wish it was available to me again. If you wish, I would love to send you my book as a wedding gift for your daughter. After the wedding, you and your daughter should check out the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance(www.ovariancancer.org).
