I am interested to know how many have you have been offered or had surgery after recurrance, especially if you recurred less than a year after first line treatment.
I recurred after 3 months and am on weekly Taxol due to be reviewed soon. Surgery has not been mentioned and I haven't raised it as I assumed it just wasn't worthwhile. However as I'm not sure the Taxol is working well I want to discuss this and wonder whether others have gone through repeat debulking surgery.
Thank you as always for your replies.

Hi Phuket. I am sorry to hear you recurred after 3 months. It may be worth asking your surgeon about. I initially had debulking surgery and chemo. I have since recurred twice. When I asked about possibility of more surgery, he said he wouldn't operate again because too much scar tissue from 1st operation and wouldn't be able to find and remove the cancer because too small at that time. But keep looking at other possible options and discuss with your oncologist. You can also get a 2nd opinion from another oncologist which happens fairly frequently. Hugs from Australia
