Gwen posted an update in the group Ovarian Cancer Advocate Network
Hi Eric,
I just spoke to you on the phone regarding my step daughter, Dana, who is fighting stage 4 ovarian cancer. The official diagnosis is cancer, carcinomatosis of peritoneal cavity. She has been through surgery in June of this year and once weekly chemo from July through November 3, 2015. One week later the cancer returned. She is scheduled to start chemo again tomorrow with Paclitaxel in conjunction with Avastin. She is Caucasian and just turned 45 years old. She tested negative for the BRCA gene but did undergo IVF treatments 14 years ago. She has a 13 year old daughter and wants to be around for as long as possible. Any information or resources you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Gwen thank you so much for joining the WeHeal Ovarian Cancer Community and continuing our conversation here for everyone to benefit! It was a pleasure to speak with you yesterday and I commend you for fighting so hard for your step daughter Dana! If only every patient had an advocate like you! She is very lucky!
Now down to business! A man named Roger Vertrees has perfected the use of hyperthermia, using the body’s natural process of fever to kill cancerous tumor cells. The phase one clinical trials for safety have been completed and the FDA is expected to give the go ahead to proceed with stage 2 trials on women with Ovarian Cancer. The results have been amazing with the patients waking up from this non-toxic cleansing feeling invigorated and better than they have in months or even years. After one year the patients are much healthier and doing great. The bottom line is that there is very little risk or down side. There is no radiation or toxic chemo, and the heating essentially cleanses the body of toxins!
In addition to all the trials I went over with you yesterday, please follow up with Dr. Vertrees on the possibility of Dana becoming a hyperthermia patient. The patients I met couldn’t stop ranting on about how great the treatment made them feel, and how it has extended the length and quality of their life after they were given no more options!
