[|Human|] I am currently you caring for an 83 year female. She is 2months post older from ovarian I am currently caring for an elderly woman who 2 months post op from ovarian cancer that spread to the small bowel. Although the Dr said he removed both tumors and was pretty sure he got it all??? She is failing to thrive and going downhill as we speak. Help
[|AI|]  Sorry to hear the condition of the patient you're looking after. What was the stage of the disease? Post-operative ovarian cancer needs a CT scan of the abdomen to find out any residual disease. In the majority of cases after operation ovarian cancer patients needs chemotherapy to halt recurrences. There is no age restriction for chemotherapy, but general condition of the patient is a considerable issue.  One thing, about she is failure to thrive. It may also possible that the lady has disease elsewhere also apart from abdominal cavity.
