My best friend of 13 years has been diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. The doctors gave her 3-5 years. Does anyone have hope of living past that? Is there any web sites I can research to learn more? What is the best thing I can do for her? She lives in Boston MA and I live in Missouri. We talk everyday still with the occasional flight to visit. I couldnt feel more useless right now

some good websites for researching medical diseases are mayoclinic.com and webmd.com you should really research ovarian cancer. honestly, just because a doctor says only 3-5 years left doesnt mean a whole lot. everyones body reacts differently to cancer and with all the new treatments these days some people are living far past their expected time. i wish you and your friend the best.

sorry to hear that. ovarian cancer is such a horrible cancer, usually go undiagnosed until late stage. all you can do is be there for her and support her. she is in for a long hard fight

Has it spread? If not, she can undgo surgery to remove her ovaries. It is drastic, but it is an option.
Do an internet search for related sites!
