Wow, although I'm happy to have found this message board, I am disheartened by the recurrence rate of PPC. My mom was diagnosed 3 months ago after being misdiagnosed with diverticulitis. Her CA125 was over 2000! She had a complete hysterectomy and is now on chemo that is put into her body through a general port and one that goes straight to the peritoneum. Her oncologist has given her a good prognosis, but now I'm not sure if he is being completely realistic? She is having a hard time on the chemo, and I don't think she'd be willing to go through this again if it doesn't permanently kill the cancer.
Where can we go to find true survival statistics?? Everything online seems so out of date or vague.
