My mother has been struggling with ovarian cancer, stage III. After 3
surgeries, they told her it has spread to the liver, and they cannot do
anything else through operation. She already had two chemotherapy
treatments, one of them with Taxol. They have not told her what the
next treatment would be.

If you have any words of hope, please share them.

If you go to this url .. you will find that they are showing some
pretty good results by targeting the iron in the disease ..

A low iron diet and iron binding drugs have shown to have some efficacy
..

There are two iron binding drugs in Phase 11 clinical trials at the
moment ..

A low iron diet .. NO .. meat / blood because it is a HIGHLY absorbable
form of iron ..

Who loves ya.

Hello Gianna ,
Sorry I'm late replying.
When cure is no longer possible and all options have been exhausted, one
must look to what will make the patient feel better, not worse. That's hard
to hear and accept, when it's our loved one.

Please keep us updated on how your mother is doing and how you're coping.
J
