Hi snowqueen, thanks for the reply,i'm sorry about your story and never really know what to say? my mum was 72 when she first got diagnosed and as you can imagine we were so shocked! we always joked that she couldn't get a normal cancer OH NO she had to get a rare one!!!!initially she had a 2and a half lb tumour removed from her ovary aswell as the ovaries. she was an incredibly brave lady who would take whatever treatment was available, i know the first lot of treatment she had was the carboplatin which was good cos she didn't lose her hair but it seemed to mess all her bloods up. over the years she had all number of treatments and always had a smile,i'm now worried that maybe me or one of my 2 sisaers will get it? anyway snowqueen it was lovely to hear from you and if there is anything you need to know or that i may be able to help you with dont hesitate to ask. x forgot to ask if your from uk? i am. bye for now speak soon.
