I have an ovarian tumor on my ovary, it's so large that it's too late to treat it. Any Cancer stories 2 share?

I'm living with cancer too, one day at a time. Multiple Myeloma and Plasma Cell Leukemia. Rare to have both...less than 1% of the world population. I could have won the lotto easier :0) I knew I should have bought a ticket!





I am post months of high dose chemo and a bone marrow transplant. It was AWFUL. There is no cure for me either...they are just trying to "buy time" .....the price is too high, I promise. I chose quality, not quantity.

GREETINGS, it's not too late to treat it, that's BS. They can try different things to shrink it, like cutting estrogen which has been known to feed ovarian tumors. I also have an ovarian mass it was 10.1cm they told me I needed it removed, my ca125 test was 70, 35 is normal. My mass is tumors engulfed with cysts and debris. I chose not to have surgery as it would be quite extensive for me (I have lupus and other serious health issues, am cancer survivor already and very anemic) so I opted for Lupron therapy which at the time was just being used to stop women from periods, it's a shot every 3 months, now they are doing trials as they see it helps shrink cancer by alot. My mass after 1.5 years on Lupron shots is down to 5cm, cut in 1/2 and with a few more shots hopefully it will shrink more or they will try something else like Lupron, and if they can get it down to 3cm it's laproscopic surgery and no big deal. Might wanna ask about Lupron.
