I have been advise to have a hysterectomy because of possible ovarian cancer. I am especially concered about how extensive lymph node removal will be if they find cancer. As a breast cancer survivor I know the pain associated with lymphodema. Is their any proceedure for sampling, as opposed to removal, of lymph nodes for ovarian cancer???? Is it necessary for them to remove lymph nodes to legs????? I am getting mixed signal about the later from the obgyn and the obgyn oncologist.
