Please help me understand...

Hi everyone...I am desperate for answers and cannot seem to find any, so I'm hoping someone here can offer some insight. Someone very dear to me is battling ovarian cancer but from the very beginning when she was diagnosed, while she is perfectly comfortable discussing her condition, she has never shared details concerning her prognosis. I understand and respect her privacy, however, as her disease is progressing and her condition worsens, I cannot help but want to know what the outlook is for her so that I can prepare myself emotionally as well as to plan things for us to do with the time we have left. As of now, she has ovarian cancer that has spread to her esophogus, kidneys, pancreas, bladder, and colon. She has been doing aggressive chemo including intraperitoneal chemo and now with the latest news that it spread to the bladder and colon, she is also going to undergo radiation. It is hard to comprehend the seriousness of her condition due to the fact that she is the most positive person I know and has never let her cancer hold her back. She works full time, constantly is on the go doing things with friends and family, and aside from the hair loss, looks perfectly healthy. Again, I respect her privacy too much to ask her, so if anyone can provide some insight as to a prognosis or about how long she might have, I would just like to know for my own peace of mind. 

 

Thanks
