Thanks all. They don't expect her to make it more then 3 weeks since the chances of recovering after kemo are now down to 20%...and even if she does get through it, there is a 50% chance she will get it again. They have found the cancer on 7 parts of her body now.

Her name is Mary Witte Crawford. A great family. 2 kids. One is finishing med school top of his class....other played for the dolphins for years.

Just incase anyone likes to know....

She has Stage IIIC Ovarian Epithelial Cancer. This is the description:


Stage III

In stage III, cancer is found in one or both ovaries and has spread to other parts of the abdomen. Stage III is divided into stage IIIA, stage IIIB, and stage IIIC.

* Stage IIIA: The tumor is found only in the pelvis, but cancer cells have spread to the surface of the peritoneum (tissue that lines the abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in the abdomen).
* Stage IIIB: Cancer has spread to the peritoneum but is 2 centimeters or smaller in diameter.
* Stage IIIC: Cancer has spread to the peritoneum and is larger than 2 centimeters in diameter and/or has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen.

Cancer that has spread to the surface of the liver is also considered stage III disease.


I might be flying out tomorrow.... again...thanks everyone.
