I think my mom has ovarian cancer. She has had back pain for about 1.5 years now, and doesn%26#039;t eat much. She is 5%26#039;2%26quot;, and about 95 pounds. She can%26#039;t put weight on easily, and a recent pelvis MRI showed something in her ovary. I%26#039;m scared.|||talk to your mom. she may think that you are unaware of what is happening and doesn%26#039;t want to scare you. if she knows that you are aware that there is a problem she will likely inform you of the diagnosis. sometimes the things that we worry about are way worse than the truth|||Those can be symptoms of other things that aren%26#039;t serious, like ovarian cysts. Lots of people have back problems due to nerves or muscle damage and there are plenty that have trouble putting on weight. Try not to worry. It really could be something very common and easy to treat.|||The ovaries tend to produce cysts. And 99% of the time, those cysts are not cancerous. So it%26#039;s likely this is just a harmless cyst, not cancerous at all. There are also a large number of reasons why she could have back pain that have nothing to do with ovarian cancer. The inability to put weight on is probably nothing to worry about, either.
