Hi dr..i have a friend that have ovarian cancer but i don't kno what stage.she have nephrostomy tube placed in.what is life expectancy for her?

Ovarian cancer: You are so good to be worried about your friend. if she has a nephrostomy tube, it means that the cancer is likely stage 3 at least. Ovarian cancer is bad, but it can be beaten by a really aggressive surgery and chemo before or after. Life expectancy really depends on how a person responds to the treatment. As docs we really hate to give life expectancy numbers ( since then it proves wrong often)
