Long term survivors

[Serengeti]

Hi ladies

I just read a research from University of Berkeley where they followed women with OC who lived past 10 years and are believed cured.

The characteristics are early stage , younger age and clear cell and 2 other cells that I can’t remember. I am a clear cell so I just focused on that.

This is good news Serengeti, hopefully there will be more trials etc with better news for all age groups xxx

Hi

I have a friend diagnosed with clear cell in her 60s. NED after initial treatment, no recurrence, discharged at 5 years and still going strong at 9 years.

It might not be a whole research group but it’s still a positive outcome.

My dear Katfish

I agree no research is whole

Research results can’t be applied to everyone

It’s just an indicator

All the best

Hi Serengeti

Not sure if I’ve been unclear.

When I said it wasn’t a whole research group I was referring to my friend, not the research you were talking about. So my friend is a research group of 1, which would be a very small group, but it’s still good.

My point was meant to be yay for the research you spotted and in addition I know someone else who seems to be doing well too.

Don’t know if that’s more clear or I’m digging a hole.

Great news - thanks for sharing. I too have clear cell, or should I say had! - as I'm fortunate to be in remission. I'd love to read the paper - do you have the title and lead author? Thank you Sundra

Dear Sundra

I am happy for you

I read so much and unfortunately I didn’t save the article

May I ask you how long were you diagnosed and what stage were you

Sorry for being nosy

Well that's encouraging. My doctor has told me the same thing. He's says clear cell caught early usually has a good long term survival rate. I'm holding on to that!

Yes my dear

I read a few more papers where early stage clear cell don’t recurr in many cases

Please eat lots of fruits like 5 a day and lots of veggies
