CT results
Mom had a ct scan November 22nd, we got the results today and this is what they said. Mom has no fluid in her lungs or surrounding her tumour. The mass has not grown.

What are the Steps for Treatment for Ovarian Cancer Stage 3?
A very good friend of mine told me she has ovarian cancer stage 3. They said it has spread to her lymph nodes. They prescribed her hexamethylamine, which is an oral chemo med.
