Hi Helen, thank you for your suggestions and experience. I understand stage 1A does not need usually any treatment and that is good. FIGO Stage 1C is more like gray zone and it is stressful when doctors don't agree. They don't know much about Granulosa Cell cancer generally because is a very rare type. I was trying to think how maybe not taking chemo is better...but then, one oncologist told me how they had case 1C2 who had cancer back already in 6 month??! If I try to ask how I wanna see statistic of recurrence , I am getting answer how every patient is different and they cannot tell. BUT, I don't think we are all soooo different and I believe there has to be way to figure more about what we have in common so they can maybe give me more information, just if they do more effort. At the end of story, looks like I will have to do my research and take responsibility for decision. It is stressful. I was thinking to get Mayo Clinic opinion. I did get from Sloan Hospital-women cancer opinion, and is that they do not recommending chemo. New Jersey Hackensack cancer center does. They are both high ranked for cancer care.
