I guess this type of cancer is one of the rarest and hardest to get rid of. My friend was diagnosed with clear cell fallopian cancer in December 2005. I have watched her go through 2 different types of chemo and 2 surgeries to remove the cancer that kept re-appearing. She just had a pet scan the other day and found out that the cancer is back in the same spot (pelvic wall) after 4 months. This time they are going to try radiation after they operate for the 3rd time to remove this from her. She had one of the worst kind of chemos the second time as the first did nothing but make her lose her hair. The second one, which we thought was working, was given and then she remained hospitalized for days because she was so violently ill, only to find that even though she tolerated this treatment, it did nothing to the cancer. I have watched the mental and physical pain she has endured and just wonder if there is anyone out there going through what my friend is. She is only 48 years old.
