My mother is also 81 with stage 4 ovarian cancer. She has plurel effusion and I drain her lung sack every other day. She did her first chemo treatment last week and is feeling worse after chemo. She has been told there is no cure, the cancer has matastisized too far. I find myself wondering the same thing. She pondered over not doing chemo but the doctor influenced her to "try" it. I would love to hear how your mother is doing and what advice you might have for us at this point.View Thread
