Ovarian cancer most often presents in stage III, which includes more than 50% of cases. Briefly, a diagnosis of Stage 3 means the cancer is in one or both ovaries and has spread to other parts of the abdomen. This is a serious challenge for anyone to endure, but even if it may seem initially overwhelming, I write this article as a measure of hope for those going through right now. Ten years ago, a woman I knew, call it "Lisa was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer of the ovary. She had no risk factors for the disease, was diligent in the conduct of its gynecological examinations and annual reviews, and she never missed her annual mammogram. Unfortunately, she was not aware of warning signs, she saw, including indigestion, bloating, discomfort and pelvic pain, and a change in its rules. Had she understood that these are the signs and symptoms, it should be on the lookout, she would have seen a doctor earlier, and it may have been the difference in step 1 and step 3. But she did not know what symptoms to look for. When finally diagnosed, she underwent surgery to remove a large tumor, and 6 sessions of chemotherapy over a period of 15 weeks. During this time she listened to the predictions of his doctors (not good) and researched the disease, detection of 5-year survival was around 20%. But it was a strong woman and she was determined to see her 3 children grow up, finish university, to pursue careers and have families themselves. She was determined to defeat this disease. It has changed a few things in life, exercise at least once a day, drinking more water and eat more healthily. Of course, she got to go for examinations every two months during the first years, then every 6 months. There are just a few months, Lisa had the most fantastic news. She went for her regular health check at his office and the oncologist, he said that since she was no sign of illness (known as NED) in 10 years, is now being recovered and She was discharged from care in oncology. If you have been diagnosed with cancer stage 3 ovarian cancer, not even read the statistics because you're not a number. Especially in this day and time, it is so easy to find negative information on the Internet. I say that I think the reason is people go to "network with their problems and will rarely talk about things that go in their lives. That's why I wanted to share this with everyone. Take courage from the story of Lisa and know that healing is possible for anyone, no matter what the numbers say.
