Does ovarian tumor need chemotherapy

summary

I'm 52 years old this year. Amenorrhea started at 49 years old. After that, I always felt a lot of discomfort, but I couldn't tell the cause. Therefore, I didn't have an examination until the Spring Festival when I met a friend who was a doctor. When he knew about my situation, he suggested that I go to a hospital for examination. After the examination, I found that I had ovarian cancer. Fortunately, ovarian cancer belongs to stage I, and the doctor suggested that I have surgery and chemotherapy after treatment, but I don't know about the treatment of the disease, and I also find that the cost of treatment is very high. How many times of chemotherapy do I need to do in the first stage of ovarian cancer?

Third: if patients with ovarian cancer need to do chemotherapy, the number of chemotherapy is not fixed, the number of chemotherapy is related to the patient's condition, the degree of medication and other factors, but generally adhere to chemotherapy 6 times or more. Chemotherapy can reduce the tumor, which is very helpful to the treatment of the disease.
