Also I have suffered with bowel cancer and have recently had a radical hysterectomy and 85% of my bowel removed. My life is devastated. I have 2 small children and I have still cancer remaining. Approx 4 doctors failed to find this as I have had extensive tests but none of them found this. What should I do. I am 43 years old and my family and I have suffered immensley. I just want to to know what is the right thing to do. I feel that it should have been found much earlier. My symptoms of this dates back to 2001.

I feel for your misfortune. You have no options left excepting carrying on with the treatments viz. Removal of he tumor by surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy. If your oncologist have confirmed that you are having Ovarian and bowl cancer you have to carry out the treatments.
Many a times the disease spread very fast from one organ to another anytime, before detection of cancer in one organ, or during treatment or after treatment and all the 4 doctors can not misdiagnosed. You say you have found the symptoms in 2001, that means 6 years back still you are above to live on means the treatments given to you have been effective and acted on your body.
So there is no point in blaming any one at this stage by going to Court etc. and you have to ensure that at least now you are in the hands of a able and good Oncologist to continue your treatment. Considering your status and your children, i suggest this. The side effects of these treatments will be just horrible and toilsome and you have no option but to continue with them as CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA-
