Hi Irene, I'm Lin and was also diagnosed stage IIIc in April 2006. Like you had the surgery debaulking etc. Have had three cycles of chemo..carbo/taxel, caelyx, and gem/carbo..although these three stabalized the condition at time of treatment as soon as I finish my CA125 climbs again! at the moment I am waiting for an appt re further surgery, known as interval debaulking.
I was so sorry to hear that you lost your mum at such a young age and that your sister too has OC.( a friend of mine was diagnosed at stage 4 6 years ago and is doing well, she has a very good response to treatment) I have not heard about Famara but maybe it is called something else here in the UK. I will investigate. I have heard that Avastin works for a lot of people but here in the Uk it is down to funding!
I do hope you are feeling well and be nice to keep in touch,
Kindest Regards
Lin
