Answer 1

Your descriptions do not match with ovarian cancer or bowel cancer (which is what you had the last time you were here). My son has a stage IV abdominal sarcoma that in females presents as ovarian or uterine cancer, so I know quite a bit about abdominal cancers. The protocol for both females and males with this type of abdominal cancer is often the same. We have been fighting his disease for over two years, been through three major surgeries, months of chemotherapy, and currently embarking on experimental trials. I am in contact with hundreds of other cancer patients and many caregivers. Since my son was diagnosed we have lost over a hundred people to this disease that we know personally. I am familiar with every stage of the disease and have conducted extensive research looking for a solution. One thing that I am certain about advanced abdominal (ovarian) cancer is that it 'seeds' into the abdominal cavity. Your descriptions do not match any of this. Early ovarian cancer is usually treatable and curable.

If you have ovarian cancer there are hundreds of good websites you can go to to find reliable information, including the National Cancer Institute.

NCI: Ovarian cancer

These are very general symptoms that can be attributed to other causes. In general ovarian cancer has no symptoms until it is very advanced.

"Possible signs of advanced ovarian cancer include pain or swelling in the abdomen.

Early ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, ovarian cancer is often advanced. Symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer may include the following:

Pain or swelling in the abdomen .
Pain in the pelvis.
Gastrointestinal problems, such as gas, bloating, or constipation.

These symptoms may be caused by other conditions and not by ovarian cancer. If the symptoms get worse or do not go away on their own, a doctor should be consulted so that any problem can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. When found in its early stages, ovarian epithelial cancer can often be cured."

You have posted these questions dozens of times and often with contradictory information. Go back to your oncologist and ask for more information about the disease. They are on call 24 hours so there is never any reason you can not reach a doctor. Anyone who has cancer would know that.

Good luck.

A pap scan does NOT let you know when you've got ovarian melanoma. One in fifty seven ladies get ovarian melanoma, however due to the fact the indicators are so minimum and misdiagnosed, such a lot ladies doen't get the right analysis until it is within the past due phases. When you pass on your OB/GYN due to the fact your now not feeling good have them do a blood scan known as CA-one hundred twenty five. It's a marker for ovarian tumors.... if it is increased, they're going to do both an ultrasound (which is not as well of a scan), or an belly Catscan. Symptoms might comprise, however now not constrained to...: Tired at all times Backache A feeling of like a mass on your lessen abdomin General Abdominal soreness and/or affliction (fuel, indigestion, strain, swelling, bloating, cramps) Nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or common urination Loss of urge for food Feeling of fullness even after a mild meal Weight attain or loss without a recognized intent Abnormal bleeding These signs is also induced by means of ovarian melanoma or by means of different, much less severe stipulations. It's VERY primary to seek advice together with your GYN approximately any signs, due to the fact of stuck early ovarian melanoma has a top survival fee. Its the fifth main killer in ladies due to the fact its so most of the time misdiagnosed, that is why its so primary to invite for the CA-one hundred twenty five scan in case your Dr is supplying you with the run round approximately spastic colon, or any other analysis that does not think proper.

Answer 3

Ovarian cancer, also called carcinoma of the ovary, is a type of cancer that begins in one or both ovaries. The ovaries are female reproductive organs that produce eggs called ova. They are also the primary source of estrogen and progesterone, the female reproductive hormones. The ovaries are located in the pelvis on each side of the uterus (womb).
