@suzieq1980 Hearing the diagnosis must have been a huge shock for you. When I first heard the word "cancer" for my own diagnosis of endometrial cancer I felt like I would not live out the year. That was in 2019 and after a radical hysterectomy and then radiation therapy in 2021 when I had a recurrence I'm still here. In 2019 and in 2021 (recurrence) I began to feel better and less in shock when I talked with my gyn oncologist and there was a plan in place. That whas what I needed. A plan.

Here is another Discussion on Mayo Clinic Connect about a borderline ovarian tumor:

I suggest reading through this discussion as you will gain considerable information. I'm also tagging a few members who have shared their diagnosis of a serous borderline ovarian tumor. @kimberly1006 @skyegirl @slanepac2024 @l23 @saro2012

What does your doctor say and what are the treatment plans? How are you feeling tonight?

@naturegirl5 My treatment is to do 3 rounds of chemo over 9 weeks and check me - than if necessary do surgery.
I am feeling ok- occasional pain but Ibuprofen (1) helps. I mentioned that when this all started my small boobs swelled and are tender. I wear a bandeau day and night -and my feet get swollen too. Dr says it's hormones. Anxious to get this started. My daughter wants to be with me- most say they welcome someone to stay. I expect I will sleep.
This site has been so great for me. I have learned so much and thanks to all of y'all that have replied.
