Hi agree with Casey. I had serous borderline LMP stage 1. Only surgery was required. I had a second opinion done on the pathology to be sure as borderline pathology is a little tricky. It's a good idea to consult with a gyn-onc (not just a gyn) as well. I had follow-ups every 6mos for 5 yrs and have had no recurrence. I also opted for a full hysterectomy about a 1 and 1/2 after diag. - just to be sure.
Take care.

Typically a borderline or LMP tumor does not require chemotherapy, unless it has spread (stage 3 or 4) and then it is questionable how effective it is any way. Your sounds like a stage 1A, confined to one ovary and surgery is the only treatment. Most gyn/oncs like to do some follow-up, every 4 to 12 months depending on the doctor. The good news is that borderline or LMP tumors are slow growing and have low chance of recurrance (say 10%). A second opinion from a gynocologic oncologist is a good idea as well as a second opinion on the pathology, just to be sure. Did you have a CA-125 test prior to surgery and was it elevated? Here are some links to info about borderline tumors:

Good luck!
I suggest you see a Gyn/Oncologist regarding what you need to do, given this diagnosis. They are the experts in dealing with women's issues and you want the best treatment available. Tell the OB/Gyn that you want a referral and you want it now. good luck, keep us posted
