Really struggling. Due to my family history and me already having a hysterectomy as well as my symptoms, Dr wants to take my ovaries. waiting to get scheduled. I'm really scared.

      I am new to this site. I will be here to check it out for at least a month. "Sisterhood of Ovarian Cancer Survivors" is a group I belong to on Facebook that may be more helpful (more specific to Ovarian Cancer). My best advice is to make sure an Gynecological Oncology Surgeon does your surgery. Since they specialize, they can find and remove more cancer than a regular surgeon and it has been proven that their patients have better outcomes. You are at the beginning of a journey. Most likely chemo will be suggested/recommended as an option depending on what stage you are after the surgery. One day at a time. One step at a time. I am here for you. I am not sure how many Ovarian Cancer Survivors are on this site. We will see.

      Hi! I was diagnosed with stage 3 C Ovarian Cancer in 2015. I am here to help. Does the surgeon want to do the surgery because you are high risk or has a tumor been identified on a scan?

        @macfightsback I'm high risk and the initial scan shows a tumor on my ovary
