And still they have not diagnosed her yet, but will when her other test come back. I know this is what she has. Her dr. in her home town kept telling her the test where comming back as ovarian cancer but she had total hystorectomy when i was five. Now we know why he kept telling her this. Everything im reading is so bad and im not gonna kid myself. Ive worked in nurseing homes. I know what cancer does. But this one seems to be so hateful in such a rush. I guess what i want to know is what can i expect from her surgery and chemo. Is the post surgery really that bad? I know what lies ahead but dont really want to face it at this time. But i know i must to prepare myself and be strong. My other sister is so stressed out over this she is haveing heart and blood pressure problems. Another question is, is this cancer really not stageable? I thought i read somewhere it could be. Any feed back would be great.

For some reason I find mammograms to be the worst sort of torture, maybe because I am so small chested. You just can't stretch so little material out over such a large plate!! At any rate I'm hoping there are some good alternatives as I would like to have a screening once a year (I am 57).
