Hi Tarouza,

I am sorry I can't help you on this, but what strikes me is the fact you seem as if you are in good hands, and they are planning and doing the best treatment for you. So please try not to worry about it (easier said than done) the time to worry is when they can no longer do anything. If your oncologist thinks an operation is the way to go..then they are the experts and are doing their best for you...we are all different and one person's experience is different from another...I will add you to my prayer list love and best wishes x G x

Hi Tarouza

There is so much going round in your head, I think you should write all your questions down and take someone with you next Monday who will be able to take the answers in. It is hard for the patient to take it all in. You should also have been allocated a specialist nurse, ask for her telephone number.You could also contact Wendy Dee on this site and she will give you people you can contact. I was diadnosed stage III/IV in December 2008, my aggressive cancer was not operable and have had various treatments since.I have been on a trial for 13 months and have just returned from holiday, I'm OK. To my knowledge, the treatment you describe is fairly standard. Chemo to reduce the cancer, then operation to remove the cancer surgically, then chemo to clear up any 'dust' minute cancer cells that could possibly remain. After that you will be well monitored with blood checks (CA125) and scans so do not worry! The operation will probably get rid of most of your cancer and there are many treatments out there. A worrying time we know but you have made a good start contacting this web site so now is the time to write your questions down and ask on Monday. Take care - Jen

Hi Tarouza.

Everybody is different, and so it is difficult to comment, but it sounds like you are in good hands.

Good luck, and thinking of you.

Love,
