Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with low grade serous ovarian cancer in April. I have since had all my reproductive organs and omentum removed (debulking) as well as 6 rounds of chemo. CT's show I still have a couple of lesions in my abdomen that were too small to notice first time around, so I need to have the debulking surgery again in Jan. They also found I have a similar calcified lesion on a lymph node by my left side adrenal gland, and several lesions on the fat pad behind my breastbone that we are watching. I'll be having them removed as well, hopefully laproscpoically - it all depends on the biopsy on the one by the adrenal gland. So far none of my other organs seem to be affected. Has anyone out there had to have a second debulking surgery?

Hi @Sfolk and welcome to OVdialogue. I hope you will find as much benefit from this forum as I have since I joined last year. The Teal Sisters here hold a wealth of support and information. If you haven't already, you can request a copy of the OCC Resource Guide (see link below). 

Thank you as well for sharing your story. While I welcome you, I'm also sorry that you are going through this journey. It sounds like you have a good health team who have a solid plan in place to support you. It's also good news to hear that none of your other organs have been affected. I did not have a second debulking surgery however if there is anyone in this forum who has, I'm sure they will engage. Did your medical team say if they would explore additional chemo or targeted radiation in additional to the additional debulking surgery?

Please continue to keep us informed on your journey and ask lots of questions. We are all here for you. 🩵
