Does anyone know the signs of ovarian cancer and how the symptoms progress?

Question

I know that back pain and foot pain are two of the signs but can anyone be a little more definative in which areas of the back and foot the pain is felt. Is there abdominal paid or nausea?

Answer 1

unfortunately,ovarian cancer lots of the time does not present with symptoms until it is too late.i was misdiagnosed several yrs ago..routine cell path checks after a hysterectomy came back as ovarian cancer.several months and lots of tears and research later,i was told it was not cancer,just abnormal cells.it took a ob/gyn path specialist to determine this,tho.
this is serious painfully eyeopening stuff.q&a is fun,informative,etc..but if you or someone you know is having gyn problems,you need to see a doc..not a gp,an ob/gyn FAST.
for online research try webmd,or john hopkins univ...go to ovarian cancer and read,read,read.
if you want to talk more,plez email me.GOD BLESS.
