I was originally diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer at the age of 45. A first recurrence at the age of 63 and now a second recurrence at the age of 78. Yup, I’ve been doing this, intermittently, for 33 years. My last event was 15 years ago, that’s like a hundred years in terms of medical advancements. What is new in terms of treatment for recurrent ovarian cancer?

@dlainie, that is an incredible timeline. It must've come as a shock to have a recurrence 18 years after your first diagnosis and now again 15 years later. Recurrent ovarian cancer is treatable.

Earlier this month, Mayo Clinic published this article:
- Ovarian cancer: New treatments and research https://cancerblog.mayoclinic.org/2024/05/01/ovarian-cancer-new-treatments-and-research/

What treatment options have been suggested for you at this time? How are you doing?
