Hi,

The staging system for ovarian cancer is explained at: macmillan.org.uk/Cancerinfo...

Your GP will be able to tell you which stage describes your disease.

Hi Shaz.

Write down all your questions before you go to see the oncologist like what stage/ what grade/ prognosis etc they will try to answer them and if you still feel you haven't got answers ring your clinical specialist nurses and ask them to clarify.

when I recently saw my oncologist a fire alarm went off that they had difficulty in switching it off. so when I left my head was buzzing and very unclear in what I was told, so I requested another appointment, which was much easier to take in on a

second visit( and this time I wrote the questions I had going round in my head down)

my very best wishes Gwyneth
