Please take a moment to view this article and The Clearity Foundation's website. I pray I don't have a recurrence, but if I do, I plan to seek their help. They can help ovarian cancer patients receive a more customized medication based on the tumor's blueprint, better matching us with the right clinical trial. This is so much better than "hit and miss" based on generalized research. I am so happy to have been routed to this informationl.

This is wonderful:

Joe,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. It's so hard to find these great organizations sometimes.

Wow, that is truly amazing! My mom has been battling ovarian cancer (BRCA1+) for 9 years now (4 years longer than most people are given!) and is in remission. The thing is, the chemo and radiation have kept it at bay, but we know it's just a matter of time until it comes back. It's reassuring to know that advances are being made to help with ovarian cancer. Thanks for sharing!
