addition to my previous comment is that I first thought I had a very bad kidney infection as both sides around to my back felt very tender but it was a large cyst on my right ovary and a pelvic sonnagram pick it right up. I needed chemo after to be sure they said as because of being grade 3 and could spread faster but opted out as my neighbor lost her daughter to complications so I sorta chickened out but so far so good and has been 15 years now a survivor. It certainly is a wake up call to get our priorities straight. We need each other and each other’s stories as I believe emotional support is crucial to survival. Thanks again

I just seen your article on your ovarian cancer on AOL welcome page and want to thank you so much for the added information as the practitioners I get need tons of proof of anything I say before they might agree and do not do preventive care for me do to “my insurance”. I had ovarian cancer found at 39 years old and was step 1A, grade 3 which was found very early but I didn’t feel right and persisted until they found out why. I had to have a totally radical hysterectomy and couldn’t take hormones so became post menopausal shortly after and at 54 years old, doctors say my health mimics a 73 year old but I am still alive. The sites listed below your article will be a blessing for me and mainly wish to thank you so very much for both information and sharing your story. Thanks
