Hi,
I had gone through your question. Your mother was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer and underwent surgery.
The next thing to do is to get the histopathology report.
Treatment strategy is to give Chemotherapy . But the chemotherapy regimens are different for different type of tumors. So the exact regimen can be decided only after the histopathology report. Your doctor will decide on the regimen after seeing the report and assesing her cliniclly.
