Hello, and I hope I can help you today.

I apologize in advance for the bad news if you did not already know about your sister's condition, but your sister has a type of ovarian cancer called serous adenocarcinoma. This is one of the most common types of ovarian cancer and hers is poorly differentiated, which means it is more aggressive than the typical form. Because she had a nodule on her rectum and also on the surface of one of her ovaries, the disease is spread into her pelvis, which means it is at least stage 2.

It is extremely important that your sister consult with an oncologist, preferably one who specializes in gynecologic cancers. They can give you a detailed plan for her treatment and prognosis. Because I do not know your sister's age or where you live, I cannot speculate on what her chances are of recovery, but her surgeon should be able to refer her to the appropriate type of doctor to care for her properly.

I sincerely wish you the best through this difficult time in your sister's health, and I hope for a positive outcome with her treatment.

Best, Dr. Brown
