What is ovarian cancer? |
Why should I be concerned about ovarian cancer? I was married when I was 20 years old I went to my honeymoonwhen I went to atlanta I started to had really bad pain in my stomach so my husband rush me to the ER, they told I was like 4 month pregnant and right there I know it couldnt be because I marry been a virgin. My husband took me to Arizona where they rush me to a hospital for a histerectomy. The doctor was so good with me that just took out the ovary that had clear cell carcinoma but she told me that i had to have a child before 3 years because the CA it was going to come back, I had 2 kids in a period of 3 years but I didnt take her advise and was back at the cancer hospital when I was 26 where I nearly died... Was on chemo for 6 months. Right now Im in remision. Here is a descripction of ovarian cancer. Ovarian cancer is disproportionately deadly for a number of reasons. First, symptoms are vague and non-specific, so women and their physicians frequently attribute them to more common conditions. By the time the cancer is diagnosed, the tumor has often spread beyond the ovaries. More than 60% of patients presenting with this disease already have stage III status. Also, ovarian cancers shed malignant cells into the naturally occurring fluid with the abdominal cavity. These cells then have the potential to float in this fluid and frequently implant on other abdominal (peritoneal) structures includind the uterus, urinary bladder, bowel, and lining of the bowel wall (omentum). These cells can begin forming new tumor growths before cancer is even suspected. Second, because no cost-effective screening test for ovarian cancer exists, more than 50 % of women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the advanced stages of the disease. Ovarian cancer is rarely diagnosed in its early stages; it is usually quite advanced by the time diagnosis is made. The outcome is often poor. The five-year survival rate for all stages is only 35 % to 38 %. If, however, diagnosis is made early in the disease, five-year survival rates can reach 90 % to 98 %. Germ Cell Ovarian Cancer has a much better prognosis, but is rarer. Despite this poor prognosis, patients should keep in mind that all such studies are retrospective in nature: i.e., they can only look into past results. Therefore they cannot take into account the benefits on survival that newer therapies may provide. cancer of the ovaries : ovaries are two egg shaped organs, one on each side of the uterus, that produce the ovum or egg in females. cancer in the ovaries of women, be concerend if your 30-45, or if you have family history of ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer is cancer of the ovaries, and although it is much harder to detect than breast cancer. Before being diagnosed with ovarian cancer, my mother had sharp pains throughout her stomach. When she went to the emergency room, the doctor told her that it was just kidney stones, and they would pass within the next few days. After a week, the pain hadn't stopped, so she went to her regular doctor. She told him about the family history of cancer, and he ran the proper tests. That is how she found out. Hope it helps!! Ovarian cancer is a cancerous mass or tumor on the ovaries. and yes, you should be concerned because it can very well affect your health and your decisions of having children in the future. If severe enough, they may have to perform a hysterectomy . |
