what is the 5-year survival rate for stage 3 ovarian cancer?
My mum was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. I need to here anything good and bad.
The 5-year-survival rate is a statistical way of looking at the death rate in a cancer. It cannot tell you anything about your mother’s individual chances since statistics only deal with groups.
Some people can die from othe stage 2 cancer in 6 months, others will live with a stage 4 cancer for 10 years. As for survival rates at different stages, you can find them on many ovarian cancer websites, but don’t get too discouraged by any low number or too overjoyed by a high one – statistics.
Your best bet is an honest discussion with the oncologist but always keep in mind, noone can give you an absolute number. They just don’t know.
I wish you and your mother the very best of luck.
March 4th, 8:43 pm: BEWARE!!!! This guy "tecuento 123" seems to be answering just about every question in Health with his sales pitch. He flogs it for MS, Cancer, Allergies and what-not. BEWARE!!!! Anyone in here who want to sell you something is probably a scammer, don’t be taken! These people prey on the helpless and terrified!
It depends. Some people live for a long time and beat the odds and some people just "go." It’s not good, but your mom may be a fighter. According to the WebMD guide it is 30 percent.
Stage 3 is still treatable. Don’t ever give up the fight. Her desire to live will make all the diffrence. My dad was diagnosed w/stage 3 three years ago and is still here. Life is a precious gift. Live every day to the fullest. Let her know how much you love her everyday.
Another sister of mine had a tumor on each ovary. Both were cancerous. That was in the early 70′s. She is still alive today. Numbers mean nothing.
