Have you been seen by any physicians at Mayo Clinic? http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/ovarian-cancer/basics/definition/con-20028096

I see you are not having luck with the medication. Mayo clinic can help fing the right drugs without all the trial and error process.

I was just going to ask the same thing, Dawn 🙂
Rena, if you would like to consider a second opinion from Mayo Clinic, I recommend contacting our Arizona campus. You'll find the contact number here http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Thank you for sharing a bit more about you. Are you concerned about adding Avastin?
