After you finished your initial treatment for ovarian cancer you will have had regular follow-up appointments with your treatment team to check how you’re feeling and to carry out tests. If it is found that your cancer has come back or grown, your treatment team will arrange an appointment to talk to you about your treatment options. When your cancer comes back, it is called a recurrence.
This information is also for you if you have progressive ovarian cancer. That is when ovarian cancer does not respond to your first treatment and continues to grow.
Here we offer information and advice to help you understand your treatment options. We explain the practical details of having a recurrence of ovarian cancer, how you might feel during this time and the support you can access.
