This is ovarian cancer and will first have to be staged appropriately
either by laparotomy or laparoscopically. After staging then a
treatment plan will be initiated which will likely include
chemotherapy for a period of time. Although the time is difficult you
need to wait for your oncologist to get this infomation and advise you.
