I am 17 and I have Ovarian Cancer
Hi, My name is Melissa and I'm from upstate NY. In May of 200, I was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer after the removal of two ovarian cysts (1 in April '99 and 1 in May '00.) I have now finished with all my chemotherapy which was done in Boston at the Dana Farber (a wonderful institution.)
My treatment included Bleomycin, Etoposide (VP16) and Cisplatin.
I was curious to know if anyone else around my age has experience ovarian cancer, as I know it is more common in older women. Please respond on the message board or you can e-mail me!
thank you very much,
Melissa

This just proves that we should be teaching cancer awareness to everyone. The threat of cancer is not discriminating. It is a threat for all of us to heed.

Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again ?

Melissa,
I am so sorry to hear about your dx at such a
young age. I have a 14 year old granddaughter
and was wondering if you could please post
what your symptoms were and what tests you had
to get a dx. I have a friend who had ov ca,
endo ca, spread to colon and appendix....had
surgery... in hospital 21 days...that was 25
years ago and she is fine today with no
followup treatment. I am an endo cancer
survivor and will be praying for your
continued health.
God bless you, sweetheart,
Janine
