How do I prepare for ovarian cancer surgery after chemo?

You got this ladybug. I too was stage 3c had 6 rounds 4 before surgery and 2 after. I got to ring that belle sept 26th. That felt so good. I have my CT scan Monday Oct 13th and I know the results will be im cancer free Praise the Lord.

Hang in there Charlyne!! I too have stage 3C. Had 4 rounds, surgery, then 2 more rounds. I was able to ring the bell last week. Very exciting. Surgery recovery wasn’t as bad as I thought they’d be. The scar is pretty darn big, but you’ll get the staples out day 12, I think. Once they are out, it’s all downhill from there. You will do great!! There’s a lot of support on this site. You’ve got this 😊
