An update:  

The surgery went well (although it started 4 hours late -- ridiculous!).   The tumor was metastasized breast cancer and not ovarian cancer, so I "only" had my ovaries and fallopian tubes removed.

I'm recovering well.  I still get tired easily, but I feel more discomfort/achiness than pain and I'm not taking any medication.    More than one medical professional told me it can take 4-6 weeks to recover from the anesthesia alone, and I think a lot of what I'm feeling is related to that.  My mind is 'fuzzy', I'm having word finding problems and my blood pressure and energy level are still low (although I'm walking regularly).  

When I talked to Dr. Kaplan at the hospital, he said that breast cancer was the better diagnosis.  And if he thinks it's "better", than so do I.  It is concerning that I developed a new tumor while I was on a chemo that was working well on my other tumors, but there are a lot of treatment options for where I am now.  

I'm going to continue on oral cytoxan because my cancer markers have continued to drop, which means it's working on the stubborn tumors I've had in my liver for almost a year.  But I'm going to add an I.V. chemo to kill the "cancer progression cells" that are likely in my bloodstream.  This treatment won't be as strong as the drug I was on in 2010, but it has plenty of side effects like mouth sores, fatigue, hair thinning, etc.   I'm hoping the worst part is that I'm going to be "3 weeks on, 1 week off", which can be terribly inconvenient!  Especially with the kids home over the summer.  

We've already had wonderful support, childcare and meals provided and I'm sure there will be more in the months ahead to help us get through what we need to do.  We are thankful for it all.
