Why not have preventative measures? I know I was ready to do it, when I had my c scare.
Why even go down that path, if you don't have to? Noone wants that prognosis. After a certain age ovarian cancer risk subsides, but with all these new cysts, etc, it's time some clearer answers are given. Wait and see, isn't acceptable.
Gosh, with my risk level, I think it's one to two weeks, unusual bloating, call...

The only test she has done so far other than a pap and mammo, was a urine test to rule out a UTI. Nothing else! No CA 125. I agree that it is not reliable in early staging. So.... I do think she is being too conservative. This is the 2nd wait and see as far as my symptoms. I just need to explain my concerns. She may not be open to surgery so I may have to get a second opinion.
