Has your doctor been straightforward about your survival?

I have posted before about having Stage 3b ovarian cancer. It’s been 18 months since hysterectomy/debulking surgery and 1 year since I finished 6 rounds of chemotherapy. My scans from a few days ago showed 3 new nodules on the abdominal wall that are probably metastatic. I see my oncologist on Friday but have been doing some reading ahead of time. Looks like HIPEC could be a next step. Has anyone had this procedure?

I have been stage 4 for over 3-1/2 years and most likely in my last months of life. I have had good quality of life up until the past 6 weeks. I share this in the hope that this awful disease does not steal your daily joy, that days can go by where the thought of cancer never enters your mind. I have had doctors that gave me hope and some that took it away. I do what is in my control, (eating healthy, exercise, positive attitude) and leave the rest to God, trusting his plan is far better than mine! I pray my words give you rest.
