What Is The Survival Time Period For A Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer Person?
how long will a person with stage 4 ovarian cancer live? completed chemo a year ago, latest 2 pet scan shows recurrence and increasing size and locations, just trying to estimate how long if no chemo is done..also, what does the end stage look like? cancer in lower abdomen (not in liver or bones...yet) thank you

difficult to determine exact time but she has only few months. it is better not to worry how her end stage looks like. most people has this doubt but you need to understand that end of life events are hard to predict. most of the ovarian cancer patients have ascitis and some have pleural effusions but terminal event should not be predicted
