I don't know how it can travel so far without affect any other tissues or showing any other signs but I suppose anything is possible.

I'm supposed to start chemo in 2 weeks. I don't want to leave any stone unturned. Radiologists are calling it metastatic ovarian cancer but I have been cancer free for 7 years. Thank-you for your quick response.
