Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
From your description, it appears that ovarian cancer what is present could be advanced stage since there is collection of fluid in abdomen as well as response to 3 rounds of chemotherapy is also not so convincing.
There are no proven things like use of vegetable juices or fruit juices to cure cancer. They might only provide good quantites of essential nutrients for maintaining general condition.
What needs to be done is plan the treatment based on staging of cancer. It might require combined use of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy to keep cancer under check as most cancer are not curable.
Kindly consult Oncologist for proper evaluation and management.
Moral support and supportive care is very much essential to be provided for cancer patients from the dear and near ones.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.

Ovarin cancer treatment plan needs to be decided based on staging of tumour.
Its treatment modalities include surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. It may be used alone or in combination.
Intake of vegetable and fruit juices would help to maintain general condition and is also very much essential.
Kindly give moral support and supportive care as and when necessary.
Kindly consult Oncologist in this regard for appropriate management.
