Good visit to Stanford

We visited Stanford cancer center today and had a great visit with a gynocelogical/oncologist Dr Jonathan Berek. What a kind, patient, considerate, listening man he was.
We got the pathology testing back it was completed in 4 days!!!
The findings were consistant with the final findings at UCSF. that being " a primary ovarian endometroid adenocarcinoma", the liver biopsy shows as 'metastatic endometroid adenocarcinoma" in the liver. They staged it as a grade or stage 3 cancer. This is in fact good news, because it puts to rest the former possible diagnosis of Pnet or cups, which were both stage 4 and much harder to treat. So we know what we are dealing with. The treatment appears to be working, we'll see just how well in 4-5 weeks after her next c.t.scan. So this is the way it will probably play out, although in this field nothing is for certain. Hopefully the c.t. scan will show the cancer has stopped spreading and started shrinking, The best case is ultimately a period of a reasonably long remission then it will probably come back. So we stay on Gemzar as it seems to be working, for 'as long as it continues to work and the cancer responds, or as long as Elaine's body tolerates the treatment." She will be taking chemo for the rest of her life, it's kind of like having a forest fire inside that you can't completely extinguish. You just hope to contain and suppress and keep a watchful eye to catch it quickly if it flares up and starts to spread again.
She will take this chemo , then if it ceases to do the job there are about 5 others including Cisplatin, etoposide, doxil , avastin and a couple of others that i can't remember right now that you keep in your hand to play later.They are stronger and more toxic so you only pull them out as needed as they affect the quality of one's life. and considering that she will be taking chemo probably 3 out of 4 weeks for the rest of her life you want something that you can live with physically and emotionally.
So we have hope, along with other alternative treatments we hope to knock this fire down to a smoulder and keep it there for years, if not put the sucker out!!!
No one can say what will work and for how long, it's all trial and error.
