Has anyone's ovarian cancer recurred after being diagnosed as stage 1 and just had the 1 ovary and Fallopian tube removed?
If so, how soon after was it?
Also, would you still expect to be monitored regularly?
scans or just blood tests? If so, how frequently?
Mine hasn’t reoccurred but for my treatment I had scans every 6months and bloods every 2months for the first 2years. I’m now in year 3 and have gone to bloods every 6months only
That’s wonderful news for you!
Do you have bloods at your GP surgery or hospital?
I guess I’ll worry that I slip through the net and don’t get called for bloods/scans etc!
I get sent the paperwork in the post and then I either go to my gp or local hospital and ask them to take the blood sample.
