    Carol-Charlie has said it right. I have stage IIIC Ovarian cancer, and it was a Gynecological Oncologist that has kept me alive. (In the business, they call themselves gyn-oncs). They are very specialized and will be able to do the best. My best wishes to your sister and to you.

    Glad you found us. PLEASE find a Gynecologic Oncology Surgeon. This was a new specialty when I was diagnosed 7 1/2 years ago with Stage IV ovarian Cancer.... I was so terrified when I figured out what they'd found.... I asked God to please take my hand, and lead me to where He wanted me to be. I told Him how scared I was. Immediately my fear was gone. The Oncologist (GOS) Removed a 39 lb. tumor on my right ovary... scraped the cancer off my intestine and my urethra and upgraded me to Stage IIIC. I did almost two full years of chemo... and it was very doable, please don't let chemo scare you. I wish your sister and your family the best... It can be done... One step at a time and do what God leads you to do via this specialist. God Bless.
