Anyone know of a UPSC specialist in Australia?
Hi there girls, I'm in my second week of chemo after having surgery. I ended up with stage 3a UPSC. My diagnosis is a bit open-ended as I had a serous spot on an ovary and they're not sure if I have 2 primaries or a spread from the uterus. What I'd like to do however is to get a second opinion on the extent of the surgery…
