Hi everyone,
Just want to start by saying how great this forum is, somewhere to share feelings and support each other. I feel a lot of love on here and am glad I found it.
My mum has stage 3c ovarian cancer and was diagnosed almost 3 years ago. She has had 2 rounds of chemo which she apparently responded very well to but the last scan picked up new legions on her bowel and liver. She has taken the decision not to have a third round of chemo for various reasons, mostly that she feels it is toxic to her system and is ultimately doing more harm than good. She has adopted a healthy eating routine which is great but I see her losing weight in front of my eyes. She is still still working part time and is extremely positive about the situation despite the fact that we were told only a few days ago by her doctor that she only has a few months left to live.
We are enrolling on a number of immunotherapy treatments done privately, as well as a course of high intensity immune boosting suppliments.
I have taken a very practical approach to the whole situation but as a result feel completely numb. I am unwaveringly positive about this and can only believe that my mum, who has SO much she wants to do with life, will outlive her prognosis by years and years.
Does anyone have any advice/information about gaining weight on a clean, healthy diet or anything to say in regards to immunotherapy.
Rachel
