Apparently the message I sent did not go through...I have written
directly to the women who posted concerns regarding ovaries but I felt
like that wasn't enough. I realize many of you know this is my "soap
box" but PLEASE REALIZE OVARIAN CANCER SNEEKS UP ON THE VICTIMS, THE
SYMPTOMS ARE LIKE MANY OTHER DISEASES OR DISORDERS - USUALLY GI. A
WOMAN CAN GET OVARIAN CANCER AFTER HAVING HER OVARIES REMOVED. MY
MOTHER DIED OF OVARIAN CANCER ABOUT SEVEN YEARS AFTER THE REMOVAL OF
HER'S. OVARIAN REMNANTS HAPPEN BUT CAN BE CHECKED FOR. IT IS YOUR
BODY, IF YOUR DOCTOR IS NOT TAKING YOU SERIOUSLY, GET ANOTHER OPINION
AND KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU GET A DOCTOR THAT WILL SIT DOWN AND LISTEN.
REMEMBER A PAP SMEAR DOES NOT CHECK FOR OVARIAN CANCER, A CA 125 CAN
DETECT IT BUT IT IS NOT FOOL PROOF.
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. I WILL STEP OFF MY SOAP BOX NOW
