Stage 1 possible

[Worrywart2000]

Hello. I’ve recently been provisionally diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer (low grade). It looks to be contained within the ovary.

I’ve been told they now need to check for microscopic spread. How likely is it that it’ll stay at stage 1? I can’t find anyone else with stage 1 low grade (maybe as low grade is rare).

I’m so anxious I can’t sleep or eat at the moment ☹️ I just want some hope whilst I wait.

it’s smart of them to check for micro spread. If they think chemo would be prudent, Please take it. A few months of “discomfort” in order to rid yourself of any stragglers , is worth it. 🙏❤️

Hi , they thought my ovarian cancer was a 1C but after hysterectomy it was a 2A as it was on the move but still caught early .i had 6 rounds of chemotherapy to “mop” up as they say to make sure that if there was any escapees !!!! Not pleasant at the time but well worth it , hope that helps a little take care
