I start radiation treatment this August and can't find anyone my age who has this or support groups. Beth. Angela and Beth P. Mon, 29 Jul 2002 00:00:00 GMT Hi, I am Anna. I was diagnosed with immature teratoma(ovarian Germ cell tumor). Its normally occurs in teenagers. I got it at 22. I was treated with BEP chemo regimine, but it came back. I am now going to under go a stem cell transplant. Ovarian cancers are aggressive and need to be treated as such Can I ask you to tell what kind it is? Are they treating with radiation alone or with chemo? I would love to talk with you. Anna Annie Tue, 06 Jul 2004 00:00:00 GMT
