- How far has my cancer spread?
- Do I have to have both of my ovaries removed? If so, will I have hot flushes?
- How confident are you that all of the cancer has been removed?
- Which chemotherapy drugs do you recommend? Do I have any other options?
- How long will I have to undergo chemotherapy?
- What side effects should I look for? Are there ways to minimise these side effects?
- Will I need any additional surgery?
- Should I be tested for the BRCA-1 mutation? What should I do if the test is positive?
- What signs should I look for that might indicate the cancer has come back?
- How often should I come in for follow-up visits?
