Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Recurred ? From KL
Dear Prof
Good Evening. Got your email from your site. My wife had ovarian cancer in2011 and a hysterectomy was done and the usual 6 chemos done. It was quite difficult chemo
Since then the CA 125 have been going up and the last was 700 . The normal being below 30. Her gynae onco has suggested chemo since the last 1.5 years but after her first experience she did not want to undergo it again.
She has become weak and for the past two months having persistent cough. Also her gut has become quite weak, sometimes she goes to the toilet upto 7 times, more so when she has her meals has to run immediately to the restroom. Our GP advised to do an X-ray and the radiologist said that it looked like metastasis. Went back to GH they did not allow us to see her gynae onco but the outpatient MO diagnosed it TB due to the high ESR and referred her to TB hosp. TB hosp declared that it is not TB and asked to do a CT scan. As you are aware that to get a scan in the govt hosp would take a month or so.
She does not eat any meat eggs fish. Fully vegetarian, Does enjoy yogurt once a while eats nuts fruits etc.
Appreciate your advise. We stay in Kuala Lumpur. Thank you and God bless you.
Reply: If you read what I wrote about cases like your wife … you can guess that the cancer may have already spread to the organs in the lower abdomen — like colon, etc. It can also spread to the lung — that’s why the cough. I cannot tell exactly, that’s only my guess. No one can cure any cancer — the situation becomes worse if it has spread so widely. No matter what you do, there is no cure. You have to decide what you what to do.
