A member asked:

I had surgery for ovarian cancer & it was stage 1a & contained. no treatment required. am i considered as survivor?

8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Was your cancer a borderline malignancy? Often if no treatment is required it's because the mass was considered borderline. But yes, you are a survivor (in more ways than one!). I'm sure your doctor recommended continued surveillance? So glad you caught it early!
