Hello, and I hope I can help you today.
I apologize for discussing such a sensitive matter in this way, but the results of the CT scan are extremely concerning for ovarian cancer. Peritoneal nodules may indicate local spread in the pelvis.
Your mother needs to consult ideally with a gynecologic oncologist, or a gynecologist who treats women with female cancers. She will need surgery to have her ovaries, uterus and any other diseased tissue removed, and chemotherapy after that. If there are not specialists in GYN oncology in your area, a consultation first with a regular gynecologist will be a good first step as they will be able to refer you to the proper doctor to get your mother treated as soon as possible.
I am sorry for the grave news, but getting your mother to the proper type of doctor to help her is the best next step. I hope you follow my advice and the doctor's evaluation reveals a good prognosis for her.
Best wishes and good luck,
Dr. Brown
