[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious why you think ovarian and uterine cancers are “quite common”? That wasn’t my understanding at all, and doing a quick google search says both of these are rare. Do you mean you’re at a higher risk because of the other cancer you had? Not trying to be difficult here, just trying to understand where you’re getting your stats from. [/quote]

Ovarian cancer alone is 5th most common cancer [/quote]

Not to mention, by the time you have real symptoms for most people you are already stage 3/4.  Many doctors write off those symptoms as typical "female issues".  Ultrasound yearly is a decent way to find any issues earlier than normal.  [/quote]

Why do you say this? What data do you have that suggests a yearly ultrasound improves outcomes? [/quote]

Not PP but you do realize ovarian cancer is not a 100% death outcome? How can a yearly ultrasound not improve any chance of catching a mass earlier as compared to no ultrasound ever?[/quote]
