What is the normal treatment for Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer?

Hello....my sister had a huge mass removed from her stomach in October 2019 and it turned out to be Stage 1 ovarian cancer. They got it all out and no other major organs seemed affected.

Long story short...They started her on chemo treatments (December 2, 2019) as a preventative measure without getting a PET scan.

Her one cycle of chemo consisted of 5 infustions (Mon, Tues, Wed then the following two Mondays). She made it barely through the 4th infusion of her 1st cycle and has been in the hospital for the past 5 weeks. 

My question....what does your chemo treatment consist of? Did you get a PET scan? 

I am insisting on a PET scan when and if she is to continue with chemo treatments.

Thank you for your feed back.

Have a great day,
Jeanne
