What is watchful waiting like for rare ovarian cancer?

7 days agoHi ladies, I have a very rare ovarian cancer, a metastatic Brenner's tumor that has encompassed my right ureter, Diagnosed 9/25. Since Brenner's tumors are so rare, there isn't much information regarding treatments. It's treated as a low grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer - 6 carbo-taxol infusions, and typically debulking surgery in between (3/3). Unfortunately, for me surgery nor radiation is an option. I had the 6 infusions and am "done" but not NED now and likely will never be. I've seen 5 oncologist specialists (4 surgical) at Moffitt Cancer Hospital in addition to my local oncologist, and each one has given me the same answer, Watchful waiting...scans every 3 months and my cancer is stable.
Has anyone else out there had a similar experience with your ovarian cancer?
