I lost my wife to ovarian cancer on Feb 7th, she was diagnosed on Jan 6th... such a devastating disease. I hope and pray awareness, education and successful cure rates are in the future.
Mark, we are so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. We are sending you love and big TEAL hugs.
Hi Dr. Schink, Thank you for the very clear and concise q/a session. My question is the following: For patients with advanced ovarian cancer at diagnosis, does having a BRCA1 mutation confer survival advantages? I was diagnosed in 1994 and my BRCA1 mutation identified in 1996. Since that time, I have read a few scientific articles published in peer reviewed journals that seem to indicate that BRCA1 mutation may enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and provide improved survival time. I am however not up to date on the scientific literature on this topic and would appreciate your expertise. Thank you for your assistance.
So excited to see this! Great job! From a one-year survivor!
