A member asked:

My mom aged 75 got recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer, with peritoneal fluid. ct shows no liver or lymph node what is life expectency with treat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No way to tell: Some of these are super-slow growers and she may have more good years ahead. Her oncologist can look at the pathology report and tell her the chances -- and it's always "percentage odds" rather than life expectancy.
