After having a hysterectomy for an ovarian cyst, the surgery discovered stage 3 low grade serous ovarian cancer. Further surgery removed visible cancer and I have just begun chemotherapy prior to having hormone blocking treatment. I am very grateful that the hysterectomy meant my cancer was discovered as I had no symptoms and the CT scan and ultrasound scans had not picked it up.
Anyone else with this quite rare form of ovarian cancer on here?
Hi Blinker and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I've done a search in this forum looking for posts which mention serous ovarian cancer and found these for you to look through.
It would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

Hi Brookie, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May when I went for a laparoscopy. I had all the symptoms & kept going to my Drs for them to tell me it was menopausal 
.
I then went in 4 weeks later for Hysterectomy it had spread to my bowel & spleen. I had several hours of surgery by the best team. They said they’ve managed to remove all the visible cancer. I woke up with a stoma. Not reversible, but it’s saved my life. I’ve got LG 3b serous & now trying to find as much information as I can.
All the very best Lisa
Hi Ldt
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but we also have a stoma support group in the community you might like to join and the link is here
I’ve got 2 stomas (colostomy and urostomy) due to my surgery, but I knew in advance they were in my plan, so it wasn’t a shock like it was for you.
If you ever have any stoma questions or just want advice, the group is great for that.
Sarah xx
