New diagnosis

[Lilymay9]

Hello I’ve just joined this forum today. Had surgery 2 weeks ago with everything removed. Today saw consultant and had diagnosis of stage 2 clear cell cancer.

Very scared, and waiting to have chemotherapy. Anyone else know anything about this diagnosis please

Lilymay9, Welcome to this club that nobody wishes to join! I have low grade serous so can't off you any advice but offer you my best wishes.

Clear cell apparently shows as clear cells under the microscope. If caught at stages 1 and 2 it generally has a good prognosis. It is more rare than high grade serous - about 4% of ovarian cancers are clear cell but in Japan it is 25%. Clear cell often does not respond to chemotherapy but I have read many posts from ladies who have had good responses. There are 2 clinical trials for clear cell that I know of: the peacocc trial which is immunotherapy and the Atari trial which is for the ATR inhibitor AZD 6738 plus Olaparib.
