Coincidence.

She was 75. At 51 she had a hysterectomy, ovaries left in. She had an operation two years ago to see if any growth could be removed, none could. Mum had to endure gruelling chemotherapy which did not work (6 sessions). On the ward, in the hospital she had her operation at, were many women aged from around thirty to seventy plus. Each had been given a womb only hysterectomy and then had to go back in for surgery, due to ovarian cancer developing. All of the ladies then had to do chemotherapy. The chemo is only 50% successful. Hysterectomy? everything out, don't settle for second best. Ovarian cancer in uk is diagnosed in about 6000 people in the UK a year, don't be a statistic.Take care.

That being said - I must say this article is dissapointing and WRONG in a few area's. You stated Ovarian Cancer is not common! Ovarian Cancer is very common, it is more common than you are stating and it is article's like this one that mis-lead thousands of women. I realize that you are probably unaware of this because well, most people are. But, I suggest you do your research before making a statement that is totally wrong.

I have an onocologist that has been monitering me due to enlarged lymph nodes with questional biopsy results. I had a partial hysterectomy 29 yrs ago and was told the ovaries were cystic but left for hormone production. I was also told that the ovaries would need to be removed in the future and gave them 5 yrs. I never had them removed and do have symptoms of ovarian cancer now. My abdominal area has swelled up that I look pregnannt. I do not have weight gain anywhere else. I had the ca-125 blood test last year but it was ok then. I am also in final stage of Myasthenia Gravis and fighting cellulitis in my legs from build up of lymph fluid and lasix ddoes nothing for me. My next visit I plan to bring up the subject of ovarian cancer with my onocologist. Wish me luck............ I have been concerned that I may have ovarian cancer.

I still have one ovary. I had what the doctor called "precancerous cells". But, now I have alot of strange things going on such as breast tenderness and lack of sex drive. I still have one ovary so I'm not sure if it's premenopause. I don't have night sweats or mood swings either. Should I worry about cancer in the other ovary? The doctor said it may need to be removed in the future. This was two years ago. I had a partial hysterectomy at the age of 28. I still have one ovary.

It is supposed to be a clear liquid cyst... which has grown to be about the size of a tennis ball. Please help, what about removal of both overies, only the overies, when only one has a cyst on it?

My doctor said I could vertually do anything excep heavy lifting. But I read no bending. I have been bending until no. I just read about the mother that contracted ovarian cancer after a partial hysterectomy. The doctor left my ovaries due to the fact I had no cancer in the operation. Now I am worried. Do I need to have regular ultra-sounds to check my ovaries through life. Thanks. I just had a hysterectomy 2 weeks ago. My doctor said I could vertually do anything excep heavy lifting.
