after three years (I hadn t optimaldebulking and total hysterectomy)my ovarian cancer came back. I had a cyst which was detected on a CT scan and felt during an examination on the left side. The lab shows. It was the same cell type as the original ovarian cancer. My doctor told me that doing a second surgery for removal would not work because ovarian cancer was different than other forms of cancer. I was unable to understand what that means. As he told me there were two small broccoli like tumors that were inside the cyst. I m unclear as to why the tumors cannot be removed. And then follow with chemo etc.
