hello dear. I have gone through your case. Many a times the patients of ovarian cancer are in advanced stage so surgery is difficult to perform. Approach in such cases is to give a few cycles of chemotherapy so as to reduce the tumor bulk, make it appropriate for surgery. Then to perform surgery and again give few cycle of chemo to kill the residual cells. The survival is good and you need not worry. Go ahead with the treatment. Take care.
