I would not do any more treatment. I would have hospice for myself. I would let family and friends know and spend as much time as I could with them. I think I also would want to stay as independent as possible. If I felt emotional, scared and needing to talk, I would get with those I feel closest to and talk, cry or whatever I felt at that time.
I have already arranged for my burial. I have done a will, trust and living will. I have also spoken to my family about what I want.

Just to give some info on ovarian cancer.
This is one of the most chemosensitive cancers and if the patient is in good shape; chemotherapy is usally beneficial. It improves quality of life and overall survival as well. Hence make sure she has seen a gyne- oncologist. If her condition is too sick for treatment; spending time with family at home would be best.

I'd stay away from chemo. They told us my mom had 20% chance of getting well with chemo. Chemo shortened her life by making her tired and weak.
I would bring my family and friends in for visits. I'd clear up any hurt feelings. I'd sign all the papers my family needed. I'd be an organ donor.
I'd like to walk on white sand with turquoise waters. I'd make love with my husband over and over until he realized how deep my love for him was.
If there was something with special memories in it--pictures, jewelry, books, whatever, I'd give it to my children and grandchildren before I passed.
I'd make my own funeral arrangements so that when I pass my family wouldn't have to take care of that on top of their grief.
I would tell every single family member, that I'm going to be with the Lord, my mother, my son, my grandparents, and this isn't a thing to be sad about. I want them to remember the good times. Cry for a while, but they mustn't allow it to traumatize them. No one should visit my grave. I want them to be happy. Be happy.
Be happy, love your family, love the Lord your God with all your heart, and soul and body, and love your neighbor.

I think I would be too sick to do much. But I'd visit or call family and friends and plan my funeral.
