Who had a recurrence after stage 1?
So chemo is over and soon I start the every 3 months visits for 2 years. I know a recurrence of ovarian cancer when it was stage 3 or 4 is very high, but what about when it was stage 1?

It is with great sadness that I must inform you, on Doug's behalf, that his beloved Carole passed today just before noon.
