The Dr. said I have more risk now, not less.
What does your Dr. think about the CA125 blood test? Do you still get ultrasounds every 6 months or yearly? Thanks for writing me!

I didn't say that I wasn't worried about it, it has deeply affected me and I worry about leaving this earth too soon. I just question the 'new' idea that removal of ovaries will be the answer. And I'm still curious about hearing from the other poster the information that she claims.
My doctor mentioned the false positives with the CA 125. I have bi annual ultrasounds. Have maintained healthy weight for several years. That's also supposed to be a preventative measure. Take birth control as another prevention measure.
Where's the 6% figure from? I think I remember you writing about 6% and another percentage. Is that even after BRCA results?
I'd ask for scientific proof before invasive surgery. I'm not a what if fan, as far as alarmist reactions. If that's what this is.
