Welcome to OCF! Im very sorry you have a need for our group. We will do our best to help you with info and support to get you thru your upcoming surgery.

If you havent already done so, please consider getting a second opinion. A Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC) that would be the best choice if its an option. A CCC is where they have the most experience as they see many cases of OC every day, not just one once in a while like a smaller local hospital. Just remember, surgeons cut, its what they do. Once its been removed, it can never be put back to its original shape or functionality. This is why its so vitally important to see the most skilled physician you can so you only have one surgery with clean margins.

I suggest lining up as many helpers as you can. Having a young child at home you will need help with her. Even if its just to take her for an afternoon outing so you can rest. You may need help with driving too if you are on strong pain relievers.

You want to go into this with no regrets. I suggest eating everything you can now, all your favorites so you dont have cravings. Your ability to eat and taste are likely to be affected so eat everything now while you can enjoy it

Best wishes!!!
