Hi

ii had a full hysterectomy in December. I was called back after a month to be told I had this rare ovarian cancer. They burst the cyst to remove it which means cells were released into my abdomen. I have been given the option of chemo but the consultant seems to be steering me to annual scans. Has anyone else had or got this. I am not sure which option is best. I went today to say yes to chemo but have an infection. Any advice please?

  • Hi Dorris I was diagnosed with the same as you my surgery went well had stage one didn’t know there was a a,b,or c stage 1 was wondering how often u get scanned I was told 3 months by clinical nurseFrowning2then told 6 months by consultant was wondering how often your scans are , great to speak to someone in the same boat also told scans would be for ten yearsFrowning2️

  • Hi Natajack 

    Sorry for the slow reply. I was told this at the beginning from the consultant but I only have a mri scan once a year and see the consultant once a year aswell. I was told there was a high chance of it returning so just keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome. 

    Definitely good to speak to someone in the same boat. Good luck with your recovery.
