My friend/roommate was diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer called "desmoplastic small round cell tumor". It's affecting her gastrointestinal system, making it difficult for her to eat and sleep. They drained 9 liters of fluid from her a couple weeks ago when she originally went in for surgery for ovarian cysts.

Before you ask I'm aware of the use of antiparasitic medicines to treat cancer. I even brought it up to the doctor. He didn't know what I was talking about, and said if all else fails they can try "experimental therapies".

She is like a sister to me. I know she hasn't turned to God yet but I don't want to see her suffer like this. Please send your thoughts and prayers for her...
