My mom was diagnosed with Stage IIC ovarian carcinosarcoma in July 2007.  She was initially treated with radiation, and now she has finished up 6 rounds of chemotherapy.  She describes it as "the strongest there is", but I do not know the exact combination of drugs.  We have heard over and over that the survival rate is around 3-5 years for Stage II.  However, her doctors told her she was about as close to Stage III as she could be (whatever that means).  Anyway, my husband and I are trying to make the very tough decision whether to move nearly 900 miles across the country to be with my mother.  Of course, she says she is going to fight and survive so we dont need to move.  I feel otherwise and my husband is on the fence.  They have recently discovered 4 more spots they are concerned about, but will not test them for three more weeks.  I guess I am just looking for the possibility of her surviving this.  It seems that almost everyone with it dies within 5-6 years whether initial treatments worked or not.  Any longer survivors out there?  I would like to go be with her as long as I can.
