To chemo or not to chemo? That is the question

in Ovarian Cancer #1

I was recently diagnosed with endometrioid carcinoma, FIGO grade 1 stage 1C. My doctor is recommending chemo because the ovary that the cancer was in was split open when he went in to do surgery. There was a lot of fluid in my abdomen and chest from the rupture of the mass that was on that ovary. The doctor said there was no way to test all of that fluid to know if there were cancer cells. I am unsure of what I want to do. I don’t want to have to go through chemo but I also don’t know if I want to take the risk. Im looking for any advice or experience with this. Thank you!
