    Statistics rarely apply to individuals . . that is why doctors frequently will not answer this type of question . . no one knows how long an individual will live . . survival will depend on many, many factors . . the location of tumor, the type of treatment, the response to treatment, the facility where they are treated, the skill of the oncologist, the age of the patient, and the patients overall health. The problem with Ovarian cancer is one that was very similar to my sons type of abdominal sarcoma . . the cancer tends to ‘seed’ into the abdominal cavity and peritoneal lining. The ‘seeding’ will eventually produce hundreds if not thousands of tiny tumors that are basically inoperable. This is extremely difficult to treat successfully . . however, in recent years there have been new treatments for abdominal cancers that have increased the survival rates of these patients. Your aunt needs to be seen by a comprehensive cancer center or university cancer center that offers a treatment called cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion. A patient has surgery that will remove all visible signs of tumor in the abdominal cavity . . than heated chemo will be poured into the cavity for two hours, than removed. This treatment kills off the tiny implants and residual cancer in the abdomen. This is recommended treatment for certain types of ovarian cancers . . . your aunt should be checking to see if she is a candidate for this type of treatment.

    Your aunt will live to the end of her days, just as she would without cancer. While doctors can tell you that X percent of people with such and such a condition lived for X amount of weeks or years, none of it applies to a specific individual.

    There is a 100% chance that she will either a) beat the disease, or b) succumb to it. Honestly, those are the only numbers which matter, because you’re either 100% alive or 100% dead. Since the latter is inconceivable, you may as well just focus on the living.

    (Of course, if a person gets sicker, it is easier to see that they may not have a very long life ahead of them. But even the pros are hesitant to say exactly how long an individual has, as the universe never tells them.)

    I have had cancer 3 times, I just wrote a guestion on the subject. But folks need to know about Garlic and the way it
    distroys the cancer activity very quickly. The medicine used
    by doctors makes it harder for a person to recover or cure.

    Garlic will kill the cancer quickly, I know from experience.
    But the best results are achieved if the garlic is consumed as
    soon as the cancer is realized. I have sucessfully helped
    seveal people that had been given a death notice. Just eating bulbs of garlic with apple sauce has seen good results. Read my post at
    (www.earthclinic.com) under the heading Garlic Bulbs.
