[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ovarian runs in my family. Being on the pill decreases my chances substantially. It slightly increases my chances of breast cancer so I get my mammograms. There is a highly unreliable bloodtest for ovarian. I don't get that. I just try to eat healthy and if I ever have warning signs I will be aggressive about checking things out.[/quote]

Isn’t ovarian cancer like pancreatic cancer, in that it is too late by the time symptoms appear?[/quote]

Who is posting all this misinformation? Do you not realize that not all pancreatic and ovarian cancers are 100% fatal? People have survived these. In the end we all die anyway of something, so those patients who “survive “ cancer will die of something else anyway, just like everyone else. [/quote]

In my circle of friends and family, those who have been diagnosed with either have been dead within 2-3 years…including my DH’s 27yo cousin (ovarian cancer).  Statistics indicate the likelihood of long-term survival with either is low, and early diagnosis rarely happens because symptoms aren’t obvious until it is too late.[/quote]

Go to hystersisters and read from all the people posting who are still alive after their uterine, cervical, or ovarian cancer diagnosis and surgery. One patient is not the next. [/quote]
