Sorry to hear that your cancer has returned. I have Stage 2C ovarian cancer which returned after 4-1/2 years last October but as yet despite scans, colonoscopy, ultra scan etc. they have not found the tumour. My CA125 levels are continuing to rise and as this has been a good marker for me in the past this makes them confident that there is a tumour somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it so they can remove it and treat me again.
The doctors have reassured me that with an operation and treatment it is possible for me to go into remission again for another 5 or even 10 years. A few patients have continued in remission longer than that so there is hope at the other side. I don't know what's ahead of me and just pray they locate the tumour soon before it gets out of control.
Don't be scared to ask these questions of your oncologist or specialist and good luck.
