i know how it is, and you definitely have my prayers. my mom was diagnosed with stage 3c i believe is what its called, or just stage 3 ovarion cancer. stage 4 is the worst, which is what i expected. not sure how many chemo sessions she had but they miraculously got it into remission and she is now working again, got her hair back and is truckin along living happier than ever before. chemo works wonders on lots of people and i pray it works for your buddy.after diagnosis, i would search the web looking for positive stories like mine that would ease my mind. hopefully this post will do the same for you guys.
