Cleaning Service

Did you know there is a service for women who are currently undergoing treatment for cancer?

There is a cleaning service that provides FREE house cleaning - 1 time per month for 4 months while she is in treatment. All she has to do is sign up for the free service and have her doctor fax a note confirming the treatment. Cleaning for a Reason will have a participating maid service in her zip code area arrange for the service. Please see their website for more information: http://www.cleaningforareason.org

Follow-Up Tests

As an ovarian cancer survivor, you can expect to be closely monitored at every stage. After surgery and during treatment, the purpose of these visits is to:

• Monitor your response to treatment
• Recognize and immediately address any treatment-related complications
• Provide early detection of persistent or recurrent disease

Follow-up visits with your physician will generally include a recto pelvic examination, physical examination and possibly an ultrasound or CT scan as well as blood tests to assess your overall health.
