Hi my mother had a hysterectomy at stage 1 ovarian cancer and chemo a few years ago.

Last year she was diagnosed with fluid on the stomach and started aggressive chemo. Now she is on chemo tablets for life term.

What she cannot explain to me is what this actually means prognosis wise. I have googled for some context and I believe it therefore must mean advanced stage cancer. 

Any insight much appreciated
