This is good stuff man. It takes a lot of courage for the both of you. My wife was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer 1 year, 11 months and 1 week ago. She's been through remission, recurrence and is now on her fourth type of chemo to try to push it back. We've had a little bit of encouraging news recently but there's still a long way to go.
I'm sure you've already done some research but I would definitely suggest familiarizing yourself with the various treatment options that are 'standard of care', gain an understanding about the pros/cons of clinical trials, how they select candidate patients and maybe scan around for trials that are applicable to her case. Also it becomes incredibly difficult to keep weight on, at least for my wife who is by any standard presently malnourished. Finding simple to eat shakes/smoothies/etc are very helpful.
If she has a full hysterectomy she's likely to struggle with night sweats. I bought my wife a BedJet last year for that but it has turned out to be a wonderful thing in the winter as well to help keep her warm.
Anyway, best of luck to the both of you.
