In 2022 I was diagnosed stage four ovarian cancer. I did nine months of chemo and had a hysterectomy, then had three more months of chemo and I’ve been in remission for almost 3 years During my last appointment they found more cancer and I’m going to try chemo again. Second round only has a 30% chance of remission. I so want to be one of the 30% but those are pretty crummy odds! What a bummer

Finding hope during recurrence can feel overwhelming, and it's completely understandable to feel discouraged by statistics. Many community members have found strength by focusing on the fact that statistics represent possibilities, not certainties, and by connecting with others who truly understand this journey - consider sharing your feelings and questions here where others can offer their experiences and support.

I’m so sorry, Susan!! You can definitely be that 30% Try to think positively!! Also check out alternatives like Ivermectin or Fendbendazole. Supposed to really be beneficial for treating the cancer. Prayers for you 🙏
