Maybe someone could help.............

Hello friends,

Maybe someone here could help. A friend of mine was diagnosed with stage IIIC primary peritoneal cancer a little more than a year ago. She underwent major surgery and 90 percent of the cancer was removed. The 10 percent left after surgery was because there was no sizeable tumors to remove. She did approximately 13 tri-weekly carboplatin/taxol treatments. Her CA125 number went from the high 900's to 17. So the chemo worked. However, now that she is off of the chemo (since February) her number has climbed back to 421 as of last Monday.

The reason for my e-mail is she asked me to help her search for the top gynecological oncologist in the country. She will be going to Cancer Centers of America on Monday but wants to get all her "ducks in a row."

So if any of you could be of help she and I would appreciate it very much. God works in mysterious ways...so I am trusting that He led me to you so you can be of help to my friend, Ruth.

Love to you all....

Mary Jo

P.S. Also she was tested positive for the BRCA 1 gene.
