Ovarian Cancer Treatments

My personal course of treatment followed that for Ovarian Cancer since that was my primary cancer. Upon my surgery it was found that there was a tumor that filled my entire uterus. The wording on my pathology report is "the endometrial and left ovarian tumors appear to be independent primaries. The cul de sac and right ovary tumors likely represent metastasis from the left ovary" My gyn/oncologist refered to the Ovarian Cancer as primary and the Uterine Cancer as Secondary Primary. I had a TAH/BSO (Total Abdominal Hysterectomy and Bilateral Salpingo-Oopherectomy) This is the removal of the uterus including the cervix as well as the tubes and ovaries using an incision in the abdomen. I also had my omentum and appendix removed. This was followed by 6 cycles of Chemo; Carboplatin and Taxol.
