The urine thing could be a combination of the surgery and chemo. Mine came after the chemo. It also affected my one knee, but walking will help that a little bit. I hurt it skiing, but they did not do surgery. I was too young would have needed a repeat about now, so I was told to wait until I could no longer deal with it. I am not there yet. There are other things that could affect the urine. Apparently, my pelvic floor is tense which may be the issue. Ask about pelvic floor physical therapy.

I was diagnosed as stage 1A. Please feel free to read my profile and message me.

Oh Geez, I think when the did the hysterectomy and then exploratory/lymph node retrieval some thing changed in how I urinate. Just counting my lucky stars I asked for the hysterectomy and was able to get it.

Hi SueEllen, I know what you are feeling. I am one of the lower stages of ovarian cancer. I had the hysterectomy, found the stage 1 ovarian cancer, but it was not in the lymph nodes and it did rupture during surgery. I did the six treatments of chemo and am supposedly cancer free. I am not quite ready to believe it. However, my situation is better than some on this forum and I know I am very lucky. My last chemo treatment was Feb 16 and I am doing ok. I have been getting through it by being positive and praying. For me, I still don't know what to expect and am treating it like an adventure I need to get through. My next appointment is not until June. In the meantime, I am having fun with learning/doing pelvic floor exercises. I now leak when I cough, sneeze or blow my nose. I never had kids, so this is a new experience and I don't want to wear a pad for the rest of my life.

Hi SueEllen, I am stage 1c. It was staged at 1c because the cyst ruptured while I was having surgery. I will be doing adjuvant chemo this week for 6 weeks.
