Hello, My mom, who was diagnosed 3.5 years ago was stage 3C just recently found out she has a recurrence. She had a full hysterectomy 3.5 years ago and then chemo. She has no symptoms right now but her PET scan showed some concerns. Is there anyone she could reach out to who had a recurrence and is thriving and doing well? She would like to chat with them about their steps for treatment and how they got through it.

Also, one Dr. recently suggested after chemo to do the surgery Secondary Cytoreduction surgery with HIPEC, has anyone had that?
