Hey Jenny,

I had 2 tumors on my liver and a mets both ovaries! Guess what? I'm still here 5 years later.

Take a look at the bottom of your foot. Do you see an expiration date on there? You may be a candidate for HIPEC. Get a second or third opinion.

Best to you,

So sorry about your challenges. Don't know much about ovarian mets. Since you are concerned about the camptozar, I did have 8+ months of camptozar along with 5FU, experienced the associated diarrhea, but was able to work except day of chemo. Used imodium and diet to help with diarrhea. sending positive thoughts your way.
