    My sister was diagnosed with stage 3c ovarian cancer. After discussing surgical options with her primary physician she decided to go to a Surgical oncologist that specialized in ovarian cancer at a cancer institute. I thank god that she took that road and was not treated by a regular gynecological surgeon. Her treatments consisted of 9 rounds of chemotherapy taxol and carbo and the combination of these drugs first "before" surgery saved her life. After the 9 rounds of chemo she then had a radical hysterectomy and removal of her omentum. There are so many questions to ask and I would recommend your sister get seen by a surgical oncologist that deals with alot of ovarian cancer cases. I urge all women to educate yourself before going under the knife first... There are new treatments available that have proved sucessful vs. blindly going in and doing a hysterectomy first.

    Go on the internet and talk with woman who have had the latest in treatments for ovarian cancer and eductate yourself. This is a horrible disease and knowlege is your best friend..

    Good luck and my prayers are with your sister.
