Ovarian cancer surgery, what is the recovery time?

What do you feel like after surgery, how long in the hospital, pain level, physical limitations, effects when part of bowel /lymph nodes are removed, hormone problems?

The recovery time for ovarian cancer surgery is about 6-8 weeks. You may be in the hospital for about 2 days. Pain level it's different for everyone especially with good pain medication post-operatively. Physical limitations will include not being able to lift more than a certain amount of weight (like nothing more than 5 lbs as an example).

I have the link to a site that may help you find even more information (doctors are on this site too). The link is at:
