Note: obtain copies of all reports including blood work (CA125...) surgical and pathology reports You may want to ask your doctor these questions before your treatment begins: * What is the stage of my disease? Has the cancer spread from the ovaries? If so, to where? * What are my treatment choices? Do you recommend intraperitoneal chemotherapy for me? Why? * Would a clinical trial be appropriate for me? * Will I need more than one kind of treatment? * What are the expected benefits of each kind of treatment? * What are the risks and possible side effects of each treatment? What can we do to control side effects? Will they go away after treatment ends? * What can I do to prepare for treatment? * Will I need to stay in the hospital? If so, for how long? * What is the treatment likely to cost? Will my insurance cover the cost? * How will treatment affect my normal activities? * Will treatment cause me to go through an early menopause? * Will I be able to get pregnant and have children after treatment? * How often should I have checkups after treatment?
