I know that Ovarian is more deadly than breast cancer but that is mostly because there is no test to catch it early.
so If a woman has digestive troubles ,bloating ,tiredness and or other symptoms they should get a full check up and CA125 blood test.

I know that ovarian cancer can run in families and that the BRCA mutation that makes one more succeptable to breast cancer also does the same for ovarian cancer. the advances in treatment are extending lives but too many women still die from the disease.
If you have any kind of 'mystery' pains or digestive alergys. as we misinterpret it.get a full gyn exam every 2 years. it is important.
if found in the early stages it is curable but the late stages still have a high death rate... Go Lance A...
everyone get educated on all the diseases that can happen and eat right and take care of your health.
