She fought a hard battle!!! My high respects to her, this is not an easy cancer to fight or any cancers! My heart goes out to her & the family! The stories need to be told & heard! Thank you 🙏🏻❤️🤗

Yes this is my grandma and I was the one in some of the pictures. She did die in July 2019. Don't leave hate.
Thanks for the update, and sharing your family's loss. It's hard to fathom the source of unhelpful and ignorant remarks regarding chemo and cancer. I had the dumbest things said to me during treatment. Your grandma had a wonderful outlook and attitude. Unfortunately, not all have her tolerance and strength. I wish you peace and acceptance like your grandma's.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear about you loss. Your grandma was really brave, and continues to guide people through her video. She seemed so peaceful! A true hero!
I'm so so sorry. I too have HGSC and am fighting to stay alive past my 5 year death sentence. I'm a wife, mom and gramma and 54yo.
Anyone who could leave any kind of hate or be mean is just evil and sick in tbe head! Im so sorry about your gma I know how horrific it can be to watch someone you love so much fade away from cancer! Its absolutely heartbreaking and it's something you never fully emotionally recover from. I pray for you and your family for healing 🙏

Mary Sue, you are my hero!! Your positivity, knowledge and attitude has helped me so very much through my current journey with ovarian cancer and recurrence. Thank you for sharing!
Hows u
Undergoing treatment and browsing for stories for encouragement. After my surgery, my body isn’t healing as fast and treatment is delayed twice. I just need 3 more to go 😢
Bless you and thank you for sharing. As a newly diagnosed person with ovarian cancer facing surgery and chemo this gave me strength and hope. I'm sure such an attitude helps. May you be well and happy for a long time to come xx
That's so sad to hear you are still suffering from this same disease. Am feeling for you right now, I know of a doctor who can help you get rid of this. He also help me from this same disease, He can also help cure yours permanently
1 year ago I was diagnosed of OVARIAN CANCER and I have tried all I can to get cured but all to no avail, until i saw a post in a health forum about a herbalist man who prepare herbal medication to cure all kind of diseases including OVARIAN CANCER , at first i doubted if it was real but decided to give it a try, when i contact this herbalist via his email and he prepared an OVARIAN CANCER herbal cure and sent it to me via UPS delivery company service,when i received this herbal cure, he gave me step by directions on how to apply it, when i applied it as instructed, i was totally cured of this deadly disease within 5 months of usage, I am now free from CANCER DISEASE ,all thanks to Dr Joshua Ighalo. you can also reach this great herbal doctor for help . He can help get rid of yours permanently.. Also specialize in treating all kinds of illness, HERPES VIRUS, HEPATITIS B, CANCER, BRAIN DISEASE, INFERTILITY, DIABETES AND MORE. ....
@@katiejohnson8534 Thank you - I had my surgery in Feb 2020 and 4 rounds of chemo April> and my CT scan after 3rd round of carbo/taxol came back NED and CA125 normal at 23. I had fourth and final round carboplatin only as the chemo gave me bad peripheral neuropathy. This has now resolved and just been on 11 day holiday to Turkey to see an old precious friend I thought I might never get to see again. I also celebrated my 72nd birthday out there. It was fantastic and am grateful to have had the opportunity to go and for everyday I wake and draw breath although the chemo left me with some SOBOE due to pulmonary fibrosis. I am now on 3-monthly reviews/watch and wait but on 14 day quarantine since returning to UK so will have to reschedule my CT scan booked for next week. I am well and I am happy so for those of you still on the journey always have hope and faith you can see off this disease. My prognosis was poor at just 15% for 5-year survival. My surprised oncologist thinks I have 3 more years plus or minus. I always thought why shouldn't `I be one of the lucky 15%? A strong positive mental attitude is IMO very important in defeating cancer.
@@robyndaniels1381 that's good to hear, am happy to hear that you are doing well now i wish you all the best in life
@@robyndaniels1381 keep fighting. My mom has cancer seems like she is starting to decline. She was diagnosed in 2019 . She has 2 primary cancers ovarian and triple negative breast cancer. God bless…
God is great all the time, 🙏
I mean, apart from when innocent people die of cancer. And many other things…
I pray for all of the cancer patients,all and ask God for total healing for them all in Jesus merciful name. My name is Oeyman
God put the cancer there so DON'T pray against his will!
Your attitude is great. You are lucky you are still healthy despite the cancer/chemo
My grandma has ovarian cancer and her mom did and her grandma my grandma told me her mom and her grandma basically bled out and that's what's happening to my grandma if she doesn't get treatment but she is working on it. I hope they don't make her do chemo I just don't like it, it knocks out your whole immune system I just hope she can have her ovaries or uterus removed.
Hi there, how’s your grandmother now?
No one can make your grandma have chemo. I know firsthand the manipulation, fear, and pressure they lay on you. If you don't have peace, don't do it!
I can't believe how some folks are rude and insensitive!
This is a Very Rare Story. Chemo patients are Very Very RARELY of this lady's strength. Please note that this is a Very Rare case.

I would not say rare, there are millions of people that don't vlog from all walks of life and culture who are survivors from final stages. GOD has the last say so in all of our lives, it was ordained before we even came here. In all things keep Faith. Give it to God and let him fight the battle. He gave us his only son, He loves us. So anyone who is reading this know that you are loved. When you're done remember to hug your kid the next time they walk past or give him a kiss on the cheek or love on your husband, your parents and enjoy this gift of life that we receive every day that we open our eyes. And don't forget to tell the Father thank you for those gifts. Stay blessed everyone.
Melanie Lofts
One more thing Melody I feel that I should say. You obviously love someone very much that went or is going through a battle, and I like I said before no matter what we do when he is ready for us we go. young and old it happens every day, but our loved ones want us to be happy on Earth and in heaven. So if your loved one is no longer they want us to remember all the good times and if they are still here love on them as much as you can! Because every day is a gift ! God bless.
This is not a rare story...As with everything we all react differently....however the chemo and support system we have today is so much different to what was even offered 10 years ago....It is just medicine...just takes longer to take than popping a pill or 3.
I am sure she is Up in Heaven Paradise.
Which year you was diagnosed ?how many years ago?
Thank you!
Sorry, but this is not typical. My wife has just completed a third round of chemo because after chemo, the cancer starts growing again. Chemo makes you weak, nauseous, some makes you lose your hair and your usually tired and weak during treatment. With stage 4, the doctors are clear. There is no cure. It will eventually kill you.
The doc told me today. Stage 4. No cure. Just control with chemo but once you stop the meds which my body may or may not respond, the cancer tumors will continue to grow. Meds forever with side effects ? Nope.
Have to agree. This is not typical. I fought stage 3c ovarian cancer and I am in remission 12 years. I had 2 types of chemo. The regular chemo in an iv
in my arm and 1 wk later I'd be admitted overnight to the hospital for retroperitoneal chemo. The chemo was injected into a port in my abdomen and I was turned from side to side ( kind of a wash if you will). I also forgot to mention I had a complete hysterectomy prior to the chemo. But I was completely exhausted and my life was pretty much on hold for 5 months. But I'm still here and have had 0 recurrences. It is doable and possible to get through this. I had no dinners out and lost 35 lbs but there are medications that do help. It is possible and if I can do it I'm sure you can too.
@@elizabethlandry4273 this gives me some hope. My mom recently had the same surgery done including the washing of the stomach area. She’s also being prescribed parp-medication which freeze/delays the multiplication of cancer cells, only side effect is that it drastically lowers her red bloodcell count. I hope she will pull trough, after 5 years you are at the same risk in getting it again as someone who has never had it before. I wish you all the best 👍🏻
@@elizabethlandry4273 thats promising:) thank you for sharing your experience
@@elizabethlandry4273 Respected Elizabeth madam.. I got some hopes by knowing your story.. Even my Mother has stage 3 ovarian cancer and 2days back she has done with the operation and yet to start chemo therapy.. so my humble request for you to guide me how to take care of my mother during chemo therapy n what are the food to be followed to boost immunity power during chemotherapy and other guidance.. Mam, can we expect even my mother can rig get of this cancer and lead normal life??? Please do reply mam.. waiting for response..
I believe she passed away this year (2019) in Omaha. She was obviously quite a woman!
Unfortunately, it's pretty rare to be living with, let alone thriving, with Stage 4 OC. Thought maybe she was one in the rare group that could manage long-term Stage 4.

@@malibuugirl6627 fought it 6 times in 12 years doing chemo every time & some with surgery it’s a long story! You can last longer but it’s a hell I am done with 6th time chose quality of life! Wish I had died the first time knowing now the hell I have been through! Just do what you want, eat all the crap you want, I stopped listening to people! I don’t know why I am still here it’s not my time yet! I should have been dead after the first surgery when I was in palliative care at home nurses coming every morning & night to hook me up after chemo for five days! Lost 12 people to cancer 4 to Ovarian both my parents & my dog of 16 years who I called me chemo body all within 7 years of my 12 year crap! I am surprised my head didn’t pop but apparently the body & mind can take a lot! Just stay positive & enjoy each day!
@@mariaabraham311 I’m praying for you. 🙏❤️
@@katiejohnson8534 Do you have his contact info, by chance? In same boat! Best wishes. Thank you.🙏😇👣✨💞
What causes ovarian cancer?
My mom was living with this vicious disease for 6 years Unknowingly, she started chemo last September and died January. I'm still angry at everything surrounding it. If you have such cancer avoid chemo. Look for alternative options and medical professionals who gives a shit
Oh no I’m so sorry to hear that. My mom supposed to start Chemo next week now I’m afraid
@@sunshine7422 how is it
Chemo saved my life and many others quit being negative! 🙄🤬
Is she still alive today?
I am trying to determine what a treatment timeline would look like for someone newly diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer; can it actually be cure in less than 9 months? Asking because there is a new blogger on CZcams that stands out as being very suspicious. How can someone be ‘cured’ of stage 4 ovarian in less than 9 months?
I’d be surprised. My sister is stage 4 OC and has never been cured. StGe 4 means metastasis.
@@blucky1250 hi how long can someone live with this cancer?
@@chelyplan5481 it varies. It’s a chronic disease and won’t ever go away. Doctors can treat it but can’t cure it at stage 4 as it’s gone to other parts of the body. I’m in Boston where the greatest docs Dana Farmer are and they challenge to treat and cure.
great story!
And my Mother had ovarian cancer
Is she still living?
Any updates
How quickly can chemo work in Stage 4 ovarian cancer? There is a lady doing a CZcams channel that claims to have been cured in 7 months. Have been feeling like she has been scamming, and when she she became ‘cancer free’ in 7 months I was like ‘how’?
This sweet woman must have been asked to promote chemotherapy for the pharmaceutical industry. For her to say theres no side effects. Unbelievable! I unfortunately had 4 rounds of chemo. I nearly died with each round. It is so toxic for the human body. The research says there are secondary cancers you will incur because of chemotherapy. No wonder she had breast cancer and now has ovarian cancer. Tragic. Im disappointed in my oncologist for withholding truth from me. Most people die from the treatment not the cancer. Its NOT a cure. Please please think twice before doing chemo or radiology. Both cause secondary cancers. God bless you all on your healing journey.
Chemo kills ginger tea doesn't
people are really as dumb as I thought they were

@@katiejohnson8534 u didn't do chemo right
@@rajsrivastav6940 no I don't am now free from OC
CHEMO DAMAGES YOUR HEART.. AND OTHER ORGANS..PERIOD!
obviously that's all it does. especially when you scream it like that
I’m sure your gone by now
Never, never get chemotherapy or radiation! SHE HAS TO WORK FOR BIG PHARMA. SHAME ON YOU!!!
WOW!!
Jacqueline Cole yeah, sure don't treat the cancer. Anyway, if I had cancer I would just it run its course. That's just me.
I am an Oncology nurse, shame on you for telling people not to do chemo. There are survivors, there are people who go through chemo with little problems
Nice logic, don't treat a disease by the only available means before it's too late because of your conspiracy theories about "big pharma".
Where the cure for cancer? When you provide it, I'll support ending chemo.
Jacqueline I'm against chemotherapy as well but why judge her on it we are only human. Don't be judgemental u idiot. It's about her journey not yours
@@Daffyduck1988 Just finished second go round of chemo and it is just a tool...like any medicine and food for that matter....everything has consequences...at the moment I want to still be here - so chemo when necessary.
