Ovarian Cancer

I was diagnosed on my 59th Birthday with Stage 11B Ovarian Cancer I saw a gynecologist who arranged for me to see a specialist from Brisbane that was in Townsville at the time so I saw her 3 days later. I flew to Brisbane the following week for surgery had a full hysterectomy, plus omendum results came back that the cancer was contained to the ovaries and had not spread to any other organ. Omendum all clear. I returned to Townsville and started chemo a few weeks later. I did 6 months weekly, finished in January 2016. I have been on 3 monthly visits between Townsville & Brisbane for the last 3 years and my markers are still below 5.
