The presence of fluid in the abdomen in carcinoma ovary can occur in all stages from Stage I to Stage IV. Her recovery and cure depend on her general condition, Stage of disease, her tolerance to surgery and chemotherapy and the nature of tumor. Usually even advanced ovarian cancers will respond to chemotherapy. Sure we can hope for the best.
