My mother had operated (hysterectomy with bilateral salphingo oophorectomy) for ovarian tumour. They now staged it as stage 3c. She had mild ascitis & peritoneal involvement also. Doctors suggested chemotherapy. Is there any chance of recurrence after chemotherapy?

Only supportive therapy an increase of lifespan at certain years. When it will recurrence will be there no one can predict the time. Where recurrence will be there no one can predict. It will be known only after pet scan.
