A member asked:

What do you suggest if my mum got diagnosed with ovarian cancer for the second time, what can i do to support her?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Proper support: When a primary ovarian cancer is treated a hysterectomy is usually performed, both ovaries come out , pelvic nodes are dissected and the omental fat pad taken. With a recurrent lesion, debulking to less than 1 cm. if possible followed by chemotherapy. Many patients can be cured by this approach
