Yes. You can die from any type of cancer. But you can also survive any type of cancer. Do not pay attention to statistics as all individuals are different.
I know a remarkable young lady right now who is doing extremely well after stage IV abdominal cancer. She had her ovaries and uterus removed along with multipe tumors and ended up with a colostomy as well. She is 24 years old and a tooth and nail fighter. She has no evidence of disease and has been in remission for a year.
Stay strong and stay hopeful. Anything is possible.

Whoa! There is quite a lot of misinformation here regarding ovarian cancer. Please simply 'google' -what tou need to know ovarian cancer- there are some very good medical sites which explain the basics. Yes, you can die of ovarian cancer but many live as well.

Ovarian cancer is deadly. The reason is because as the tumor webs in your pelvis, it obstructs your colon and you die from not being able to absorb nutrients.

cancer is really not the killer. It's the treatment. cancer is the result of a week immune system that is miscommunicating at the cellular level. All you have to do is fix the problem which is much safer than the deadly treatments MD's prescribe to make money.
The 3rd largest killer of people in the U.S. is an MD or properly prescribed medications (given by MD's)

You know, I had a teacher last year that said the reproductive system is the system you don't need to use and is optional. So, I figured that if you had cancer in the reproductive system, it wouldn't affect you much, but apparently it does.
Many women die from it annually.

Yes you can. Using condoms had help lower the risk. Always report any symptoms that are unusual to you doctor or nurse, like pain, bleeding and unusual discharge.
