New Info

I met with Dr. Bordoni yesterday and had many questions answered. The tumor on my left ovary of course has not been proven to be malignant but either way he is not calling it ovarian cancer. He believes it has metastasized from the liver. I will meet with the Gyn-Oncologist Monday,but per the conversation my doctor had with her, she will go in laparoscopicaly, look around and if it is just a couple tumors she believes she can remove them and the ovaries right then. Being done laparoscopicaly means a recovery time of less than a week. I will be having five days of chemo starting Monday followed by chemo embolization two weeks later with the ovarian surgery thrown in there somewhere. Also, my doctor has located the trial chemo at M.D. Anderson and is trying to get some sent here. He suggested that if that doesn't work, I could try the National Cancer Institute in Maryland to see if they have a trial. Thanks once again for all the prayers.
