I saw a Medscape article on Ovarian Cancer within the past couple of months. I don't recall reading anything new on the topic of Ovarian Cancer. I signed up there, years ago as recommended by a friend in seeking answers about MS.

For me, surgery would be a last resort. I just don't have any other family links. My gram is going on 85, with just diabetes since her early 40's, some glaucoma, too. She did develop high blood pressure and had a mild heart attack years ago. Still going strong despite what I wrote here. Her and my mom had D&Cs and fibroids during premenopausal years. I've had a pretty healthy reproductive system overall.

If there is something new, please keep me posted.

Additionally, my mom did have a lump removed from her breast when I was either in high school or college. My mom battled weight for years and years. There are things different of me from her. So, for now, I'll chalk it up environmental. And who knows maybe my risk isn't much more elevated than most. And who knows, just who knows.
