I Was Recently Diagnosed With Stage 3 Borderline Ovarian Cancer. I Had Surgery In Jan 08 To Remove It?

I would love to hear from someone else who has had the same thing in the past. They say it will probably come back & I am wondering when & where it has come back in other women.

Back in 2001, I was diagnosed with Stage II Granulosa Cell Ovarian Cancer. I went through Surgery; had a complete hysterectomy and appendectomy. The cancer had spread to the lining of my stomach also. I was scheduled for 6 rounds of chemo, but I could only stand to be in that room for three days. So I quit. I prayed to the Lord and asked that if he wanted me to live then he would deem it so. The doctors gave me 5 years to live, that was back in 2001.....

I have to have that specific blood test done every year to ensure that i am still in remission. I fear each year that it will come back, but fortunately so far, it has not. Just pray...do what the doctors tell you to do, the battle isn't yours...it's the LORD'S.

My mom-in-law had surgery back in December for Stage 3c ovarian cancer.
I believe the chance of reoccurance is 20% in the 1st five years.
Ovarian Cancer can be a bad one, because it is usually found so late.
Do lots of praying and keep up the fight! You may be able to find out more information on Ovarian cancer at the University of Minnesota website.

I work for an OB/GYN Ovarian Cancer Treatment Center in NYC. As I understand it, they can remove diseased area but the chances of it coming back are very high. The timeframe varies from woman to woman ranging from several months to several years. Good luck with everything.
