An artist from Rhode Island, Kendra Ferreira has enjoyed a great life with three children and a loving husband. She taught art classes and exhibited her artwork. In 2001, Kendra was diagnosed with mesothelioma after noticing her stomach swelling without any weight gain.
She was originally diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a hysterectomy. Her doctor realized the cancer had originated as peritoneal mesothelioma and spread to the ovaries.
After finding mesothelioma specialists, she took part in a clinical trial surgery, followed by chemotherapy. She was sensitive to many of the chemotherapy blends, but her specialists were able to tailor them to her specific needs, resulting in her recovery. More than a decade later, she is still enjoying good health.
Treatment:
- Clinical trial surgery
- Chemotherapy
