hi healthcare magic user very sorry to hear your painful story. free fluid in the pelvic could be reaction to start of peritoneal involvement (metastatic), other part in your it could be recurrence in pelvis. free fluid in pelvis could be due to pelvic infections.
if I would have been your doctor I would have advised you to get Abdomen and pelvic CT scan done to confirm Recurrence.
