I would suggest a 2nd opinion immediately. Yes, OvCa can come back that fast and it can continue to grow even during chemo if the cancer is not responding to chemo. There are numerous different chemos both single agent and cocktails that are available. While they might not be able to cure the disease, it can still be very treatable.
Please seek the advice of another GYN/ONC>
Good luck,

MD Anderson in Houston is the leading hospital in the US for reproductive cancers. I'd take advantage of your proximity to it and go there! There are clinical trials currently going on, too.
I've heard it said that ovca is considered a chronic disease; it recurs from time to time, it's treated, etc. There are several different kinds of chemo, there are aromatase inhibitors, etc, to try. don't give up, dear lady!
Best wishes from all of us.
tammi i don't know what your doctors have done for you but my doctor had my tumor tested for all chemo drugs. it showed taxol didn't work but taxetere did and cisplatin did. maybe they need to test your tumor and not shoot fm the dark. if they won't go immediately to houston where a team a doctors will look at your case. good luck
I would suggest a PETCT. This would help determine whether it is a blood clot or not. My CT scans have shown masses that are not tumors since a radical secondary surgery I had back in Sept 07. I had a blood clot on my liver that was mistaken for a tumor. Hope this helps!
