Has anyone had any other treatment other than chemo for ovarian cancer that has spread to ppc?

Hi Sibby, I'm another one in the group, with PPC. Yes, it gets treated the same way as OC, and Tina has already given a good explanation about that. In my case, I had surgery, too, before chemo, a complete hysterectomy, removal of ovaries, etc., and also the omentum.

Good luck - being spotted at stage 2 should be in your favour :) Most of us are found at a later stage. I'm 3c.

Take care.
