Stage 4 HGSOC.
Any one here had lymph nodes removed safely from all the following areas during debulking surgery or did chemo manage to get rid if it from these areas -

Pelvic sidewalls (both sides)
→ Lymph nodes in the lower pelvis, near where the ovaries and uterus sit.

Left mesorectal fat
→ Tissue around the rectum (toward the back of the pelvis).

Along the left common iliac vessels
→ Nodes running along a major blood vessel that drains the pelvis.

Para-aortic region (below the renal vessels)
→ Higher up in the abdomen, near the main artery (aorta), just below the kidneys.
