Does pelvic pain during chemo treatment mean something's wrong?

Since my previous treatment I have had an increase in pelvic pain/achiness and I’m worried about it.

Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer: Did You Skip Chemo?

I was diagnosed with Stage 1 Clear Cell Carcinoma ovarian cancer in April. The cancer was totally contained in the tumor (which was not compromised during my full hysterectomy), which was attached to my right ovary. My surgeon took all female parts and lymph nodes in my pelvic region, and did a pelvic wash. Everything was free of cancer cells. My gynecologic oncologist recommended 12 weeks of chemo as a preventative measure. After doing tons of research, I elected not to do chemo and I am on an “every three months” monitoring program (blood work and CT scans). Anyone else been diagnosed with Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer and what did you decide to do as treatment?
