Hi there,
It sounds like the chemotherapy is shrinking your cancer but there is still a mass.
Usually after 3 to 4 cycles of chemotherapy, many gyn oncologists consider a second surgery to remove the remainder of the cancer. you should ask your oncologist about that.
Calcium can be present in benign and malignant masses. In and of itself, it does not alter prognosis or increase concern.
Please let us know what happens
best wishes to you
