Hi All, I am 36 years old. In 2022 I was diagnosed with stage 1A clear cell adenocarcinoma in my right ovary. I had surgery to remove the right ovary, 50 lymph nodes in the pelvic area, my appendix and omentum. I have never had to do chemotherapy as the tumour was confined to my ovary. My appendix, omentum and lymph nodes didn't present any cancer cells. i feel very lucky. I had a fertility spare procedure so I am left with my ovary and uterus. I get monitored quite closely (scans and CA125 blood test every 4-6 months). My oncologist is now recommending to remove everything. I am scared of menopause and all the side effects and also to loose forever the chance of having kids naturally. But I am also scared that cancer could come back and it seems like a type of cancer quite resistant to chemotherapy. I got a second opinion and the gyneoncologist I spoke to also recommended completion surgery. I don't know what to do. And making a decision really unsettles me. Has anyone been through this?
