I need encouraging words

[avery]

I am a twenty-one year female with oravian epithelial cancer stage three. I been fighting this battle for the past year and half to no avail. The chemo treatment I am currently take is carbonplatin and taxol. I feel I am at a stand still with my treatments, and not heading in the direction I want to be going.  Is there any other treatment I should be looking into to get this cancer under control.

I guess you didn't notice, but you added your post to one from 2003, sometimes an old one pops up.
I hope your Mom continues to feel well.

hi, my name is helen and i am 20, i cannot understand what you are going through, keep positive though i have learned cancer recovery is in your mind. my mum was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumour about 2years ago, she did not have long to live and even having radiotherapy she got worse. due to this treatment she felt horrible and slept all day with no energy. anyway turned out the radiotherapy did nothing and the tumour grew back. she started to look into alternative treatment (just a warning doctors will not support you they believe in medicinal treatments) anyway the treatment that she has now had twice is kind of similar to photosynthesis, from my understanding they inject oxygen bubbles into the tumour and they gather around the cancer. they then use light rays on the affected area, the oxygen and the light then react killing off the cancer.
my mum is now amazing she isn't cancer free but she is so strong and can go a whole day without sleeping, she cycles everywhere and has a very positive outlook on life, she is also seeing a spiritual healer which i highly recommend as it has made her the positive, carefree person she is. cancer is really mind over matter, make sure you have positive people around you and don't let anything get you down. together we will beat this good luck and i hope this inspires you.(search alternative cancer treatments in google xxxx

Try to be hopeful.  My Mother-in-law was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer in 1983 -- a very grim diagnosis at the time.  But, she took the "experimental" chemo offered in Bufflo (she traveled from Erie to get it) and lived 16 years "in remission" cancer-free -- long enough to see both sons marry and her grand-daughter born.  Her doc said she "died of old age." (Heart failure.) She was 73.  Not so old, but a lot older than 57!
