Dear Donna, I am sorry about the struggle regarding you Mother and her health. Here is a little information on my Mother and our situation. I hope that something will help you. My Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer in September 2001. She has gone through 9 treatments of chemotherapy and a complete hysterectomy. She has been taking a specially formulated supplement the whole time and standing strong on her faith in God. There are so many options to choose from. The best advice I can give anyone in this situation is to research the options and know the facts. Cancer Treatment Centers Of America is a great source of information, as well as many others. I have received a lot of information from the internet as well as individuals. I believe that the better the attitudes of all involved, the more comfortable the whole process is and the better state of emotions. I also think that it helps to talk with others that are going through similiar things.
