ovarian cancer

[bigrol]

if you have had a full hysterectomy and chemotheropy can your  ovarian cancer come back?

bigrol,
   I hope that you have taken Janes suggestion and pushed up your Dr appointment. If you are concerned then you should not wait. Unfortunately ovarian cancer like many others can and does come back. But as the other girls have said this may not necessarily be your case. I wish you luck when you see your Dr and please let us know what you find out.

Hi,
You've really had a rough time, I'm so sorry that you now have a new concern about the cancer returning.
As shewrites said, OVCA is a chronic condition which can and often does relapse, of course that doesn't mean that is your case.
Since you're concerned, why don't you push up your appointment with your oncologist and in that way you won't have to be concerned, and frightened about what's going on in your body for longer than is necessary.

Remember to write down all your questions before you see your doctor.
Good luck to you, and please come here whenever you want to talk, we're here to support you and help when we can.
Jane

thanks,  i'm having back pain.  I have had breast cancer twice and my sister passed away with breast cancer at the age of 37.  I got breast cancer when I was 34 and got it again at 47 years and than at the sametime they took a 125 blood test and found out I had ovarian cancer too.  so alittle scared about my back pain and other systems i'm having thanks again.  I will talk to my dr. on 15 th of july

[shewrites]

Yes.  

You should talk with the  oncologist about this and see what stage, what type of tumor, what is the long-term prognosis, etc.   Nobody is a statistic, but there are statistics available for guidance.  Many women consider their ovarian cancer a chronic condition and continuously treat it with a wide variety of chemos.  

If you fill out more information on your profile, others may be able to relate their experiences to you.
