so for about the last month or so ive been having a dull ache on both sides of my abdominal area and slight back pain and it seemed to be worse today ive also had some pelvic pains and side aches oh yeah and slight dizziness and head aches im only 15 so i was thinking its ovarian cysts HELPP MEE pleasee im scared i scheduled an ultrasound to get things checked out as well but i want some more opinions help|||Your only 15 so I don%26#039;t think you would have cancer. If this continues you might want to see a doctor. Your still young so you are eligible to take guardasil. Guardasil is the first vaccine out to actually prevent cervical cancer and other STDs. I%26#039;m 14, so I was eligible to get it. I jumped at the opportunity because I don%26#039;t want this when I get older. They give this vaccine out in three different doces. I highly recommed it.|||I don%26#039;t know what it is..but get it checked as soon as possible.

Ovarian cancer is a possibility..and you can get it at any age. I was watching the news a while ago, and a little girl who%26#039;s 5 years old was diagnosed with it.|||I doubt it, however, ultrasounds don%26#039;t hurt, go get one asap. Doctors can do an exam and tell you right away if you have cysts, a good ob/gyn doctor can %26quot;feel%26quot; a cyst in one or both of your ovaries. You could just have a case of irritable bowel, that has similar symptoms.

You said %26quot;both sides%26quot; that indicates more of an intestinal disorder. Your ovaries are more toward the lower center. This will help: Go four inches down from your belly button, then go two inches to the right and two to the left, those are your ovaries. (Form a cross.)

However, you should go see a good ob/gyn and a abdominal doc also. They will figure this out quickly. Best of luck, don%26#039;t worry, it%26#039;ll be okay, you are too young to have anything like ovarian cancer. In fact I%26#039;ve never heard of a case where the girl was under 25 years old.|||STOP RIGHT THERE!!!!!!! Guardasil is a vaccine designed to protect against four strains of HPV, a VIRUS that can lead to cervical cancer.; it does NOT (I scream!) protect against sexually transmitted diseases! It COULD be a cyst, often they will burst on their own. It could be a kidney or urinary tract type of infection. It is very unlikely you would have cervical cancer at such a young age. You did the right thing by contacting the doctor, I hope all is well. The majority chance is it will be easily treatable. Best wishes.|||could be a kidney malfunction

in what stage during ovary cancer should the patient%26#039;s ovaries be taken out? after they%26#039;re taken out, is there still any risk of death?

thanks :)|||Surgery should be done immediately during the Stage 1A and 1B.

The surgery can include a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), bilateral salpingectomy (removal of the fallopian tubes), bilateral oophorectomy (removal of both ovaries) and an omentectomy (removal of part of the omentum, which is fatty tissue from the upper part of the abdominal cavity near the stomach and intestines). Pelvic and paraaortic lymph nodes may be sampled. The lining surfaces of the pelvic and abdominal cavities may be biopsied and sent to the laboratory for microscopic examination. This is done to find out if the cancer has spread. If the laboratory results indicate a grade 1 or grade 2 cancer (meaning the cancer has some similarities to normal glandular tissue) surgery alone may be enough.

Even if the cancer has not spread, if it turns out to be grade 2 or 3, chemotherapy may be recommended — especially if it is grade 3. The chemotherapy will usually be carboplatin and paclitaxel. Some doctors think that carboplatin alone is not as good as the 2 drugs combined. Three to 6 courses of treatment will be given.

There%26#039;s a book written by Gilda Radner. She was a comedian who was a regular in Saturday Night Live. She contracted ovarian cancer even though her ovaries were already taken out. Because metastasis is a likelihood via the lympathic system; early detection and a course of chemotherapy is impt. Chemotherapy will at least lessen the risks of the its metastasis or reoccurrence.. It would dramatically increase the chances for the cancer to go into remission. As a matter of fact; this is also true of breast cancer which is the no.. 1 killer among women.

Recently, I was made aware that there%26#039;s a blood test now known as Ca-125(similar to PSA analysis for prostrate cancer in men). This blood test can detect for any cancer cells. for any adjacent organs such as the fallopian tubes, the cervix or the uterine wall. Her book also stressed this test..

In conclusion, surgery alone for ovarian cancer is not sufficient for a better prognosis of this teriible and fatal disease. Intensive chemotherapy is required to eradicate any possible floating cancer cells.|||Your question was very legitimate. Just because nobody else replied to it doesn%26#039;t take away the merit or relevance. You must be very smart enough to care about your female body. To further answer your question. No, once the ovaries are taken out, pregnancy is imp[ossible. Report It
|||Moreover, post hysterectomy, oophorectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; no pregancy is possible. If you know of anybody close to you or yourself who should be at risk for ovarian cancer; pls stress to them the impt of this blood test of CA-125. Report It
|||Remember, that early detection of cancer (esp breast and cervical which are the commonest form of cancer) makes for early treatment and better prognosis. Report It

Well the news 5 months from diagnosis is in…mom asked and he said the cancer is very agressive and they have to try an %26#039;experimental%26#039; drug that is out there (clinical trial I assume). Anyways he said he gives her 1 to 2 years and there will be no cure. she was on carboplatnim and went from (after surgery) the 1000%26#039;s to 125, now it is going up again.

So is there anything that can be used to help out chemo and give my mom a fighting chance? I%26#039;ve seen stuff on Maitake D-Fraction, I3C, ginger, etc.

Is there hope? Can we use alternative treatments to compliment the drugs/chemo?|||Bless your heart… I wish you luck with your quest.

YES! You can use alternative treatments to compliment.

Idea 1 - Wheatgrass Juice. There is a component in the juice that basically attacks the carcinogenics of the cancer. Here is a link that talks about it…. http://www.cancertutor.com/Cancer/Wheatg…

There is a book called Nature%26#039;s Finest Medicine: The Complete Guide to Using Grass Foods and Juices to Revitalize Your Health (by Steve Meyerowitz). There is a testimony section in the book and there are at least 7 different personal stories from people with different kinds of cancers who recovered because of their use of Wheatgrass juice, the stories are inspiring. There was even one in there about someone who bounced back way faster after chemo or radiation because of the wheatgrass…a nurse who did the juice went back for a scan 6 mos. later and there was NO cancer. There are even places that have wheatgrass retreats all across the country and many people with cancer go to those… a search for Ann Wigmore (www.annwigmore.org) is a starting place for information.

Idea 2 - There is a book book out there about healing cancer naturally…I can%26#039;t recall the title but if you search on Amazon or something you could probably find it.

You can buy if from a Juice Bar (Jamba Juice/Smoothie King) or grow it yourself much cheaper. The book listed above can tell you how.

Do your research… you will find a path to healing…

Fingers crossed and prayers up for you all!!!

Ladybug :)|||No. There is nothing like that. Please check the clinical trails website to see what other experimental treatments they are working on:

Best wishes to her.|||I%26#039;m so sorry. Nothing that I know of. My mother died from breast cancer %26amp; I just had a total hysterectomy because I had fibroid tumors in my uterus %26amp; a cyst on one ovary. Since I had them for at least a year %26amp; have cancer in the family, I opted to get everything removed rather than wait %26amp; see what develops. I%26#039;ll ask a friend of mine who is an organic gardener %26amp; knows a lot about these things. She doesn%26#039;t check her phone call/e-mails every day, so give me a couple of days. e-mail me.|||Sir,

The American Cancer Society Recommends ayurveda as an important alternative treatment in the field of cancer. it is a herbal based system of cure that is thousands of years old. it is proven to be effective in the treatment of cancer. The treatment of cancer was very well catalogued thousands of years ago, the treatment prescibed is still effective today. However before you take treatment make sure he/she has a good record of treatment in this area.|||I hope this would work,

I also have cancer in the family so I have the great chance to have one… As of now I%26#039;m using Honey instead of sugar because honey is rich in antioxidants (it promotes cancer cell suicide a natural death for it I guess) so I guess that will help in any way or another. I suggest you need to consider your mom%26#039;s diet. So far there are foods out there that serves as food for cancer cells.

I have a large ovarian cyst but I%26#039;ve been experiencing a lot of gas, swelling and sorness of my stomach and back. I am having indigestion and shortness of breath. Could this be just the cyst?|||Ovarian cyst may be benign or malignant , it usually is benign but there is clinical and para-clinical parameters indicating malignancy probability ; such as ascites , vaginal/rectal bleeding , bowel obstruction , fixation of the mass to the surrounding organs in physical examinations and also multiseptation or solid component in ultrasonography assay and also some tumor markers may be help full in this regard . . . But when there is such strong indicators such as I say later , there is surgical indications for open or laparoscopic sampling for pathology confirmation . Regarding to your history I can not say that your cyst is certainly a malignant one , yes there is large size predilection and also dominant gastrointestinal symptoms in the malignant group but be hopeful , I%26#039;m sure yours is a benign one! ( but you must follow it as soon as you can ) .|||Ovarian cancer is malignant. Usually cysts are benign. Sounds like your doctor needs to remove your cyst and do a biopsy.|||Ovarian Cysts

A cyst is a fluid-filled sac. In most cases a cyst on the ovary does no harm and goes away by itself. Most women have them sometime during their lives. Cysts are rarely cancerous in women under 50. Cysts sometimes hurt - but not always. Often, a woman finds out about a cyst when she has a pelvic exam.

If you%26#039;re in your childbearing years or past menopause, have no symptoms, and have a fluid-filled cyst, you may choose to monitor the cyst. You may need surgery if you have pain, are past menopause or if the cyst does not go away. Birth control pills can help prevent new cysts.

A health problem that may involve ovarian cysts is polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Women with PCOS can have high levels of male hormones, irregular or no periods and small ovarian cysts.

What Is Ovarian Cancer?

Ovarian cancer is cancer that begins in the ovaries. In women, the ovaries produce eggs (ova) for reproduction. The eggs travel through the fallopian tubes into the uterus where the fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus. Cancer can also begin in the fallopian tubes. The ovaries are also the main source of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. One ovary is located on each side of the uterus in the pelvis.

Symptoms may include:

* Heavy feeling in pelvis

* Pain in lower abdomen

* Bleeding from the vagina

* Weight gain or loss

* Abnormal periods

* Unexplained back pain that gets worse

* Gas, nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite|||%26quot;The diagnosis of ovarian cancer is complicated by the fact that the disease produces few if any symptoms during the early stages. Non-specific discomfort in the lower abdomen, fullness after eating, or heartburn may be the only symptoms of ovarian cancer before it spreads outside the ovary. Close to 80% of patients with ovarian cancer are not diagnosed until the disease becomes advanced.%26quot;

I suggest you to visit a specialty doctor who gonna give you an examination because cancer is usaually more likely to be cured in the early stage.

You can also visit %26quot;www.smile.org.au%26quot;, there is a huge database about symptoms, effects, diet recommendation as well as a wide range of cancer therapies.

i know all cancer is bad.but compared to the other ones how bad is it? and could you please just give me some general information and awnser my ?|||There is a high percentage of very bad cases because it grows virtually asymptomatically for many years, like lung cancer. Early detection is always the key to a good prognosis. If they caught it early, it is considered highly curable. If not, then the future becomes more clouded.

Good luck.|||I know someone that had ovarian cancer, the Doctors cut her open and removed the cancer, then through a round of kemo. After that she is fine. She had allot of trouble handling the kemo but in the long run it was a complete success…

My mom went in for a MRI on her back, they found a 2.5 cm cystic lesion on her left ovary. They told her to follow up with obgyn. She has an appointment Monday for an ultra sound. She%26#039;s never had cysts before and she is 49. She also has been have her period every week for about 3 months now. She has had normal mentral cycles since she started them. I%26#039;m very concerned that it may be cancer, what are the odds? What do they do after the ultrasound? She%26#039;s very depressed about this and I don%26#039;t know what to say to her to help her though this. My dad just passed away 6 months ago unexpectedly at 55 from heart failure,I%26#039;m only 22 and I just can%26#039;t handle losing another parent.|||Don%26#039;t jump to conclusions. A 2.5 cm ovarian cyst doesn%26#039;t automatically mean cancer. Follow through with all the diagnostic tests recommended and expect her doctor to make a diagnosis and outline a treatment (if needed) for whatever this is.

I%26#039;m sorry about your recent loss and remain optimistic. Good luck.|||You poor thing, I am so sorry for your loss about your Dad, but I bet that this is just going to have to be removed and she will be fine if they decide to remove it at all. Give your mom a great big hug and go out for a girls night - you guys need it.|||Lesions on the ovaries are very common and usually not cancer. Her doctor will get the reading from the ultra sound and tell her what has to be done. At 49 she is probably going through menopause or peri-menopause and many women have this same problem. Your mom is taking all of the right steps in getting better because she is going in to see the doctor and she is very lucky to have a child like you that cares so much. I want to wish your mom the best and I hope the report from the doctor is good news so that you and her can get some peace of mind.|||First, I am going to pray for you that your heart not be troubled and that fear be far from you and that God intervene in this time and hear your cries.

Second, you have gone all the way to the far side of fear, you don%26#039;t know if it is cancerous or not. It might be benign fibroid or something either way early detection is great. She can may have to have surgery and then if it is found to be cancerous they may give her a hysterectomy to keep the cancer from spreading to other parts of her body and she will be given radiation or chemotherapy. The first things she must do is have a healthy outlook and not allow depression to overwhelm her because her mindset is most important for her healing.

I am sorry about your dad, but your mom is still here and she has a lot of mileage left on the meter, with all the advances in cancer treatment and a good onocologist if she has treatment her life expectancy is great and there is remission and all types of things that can keep her healthy. So don%26#039;t get overwhelmed looking at the bad, but look more at what are our plans of action for her healing. You hang in there and garner strength in knowing that it is not the end it is a begining of a strength journey.

Been there and been in remission for 5 years.|||Hi Plz strongly suggest and encourage your mom to follow through thoroughly on this. I say this because of my experience .. and after ignoring it for some time my results were cancer .. cervical .. stage 4 the worst you can get. If you or your mom have doubts go for a second opinion , it never hurts to gather all the facts and then make your choice. I%26#039;m sorry for your loss, your dad, yur mom can definitely survive whatever it is, providing she , with yur help , follows through. Good luck and keep the faith.|||From what I was just reading in Woman%26#039;s Trouble by Ruth Trickey and Kaz Cooke, 1 out of every 3 ovarian cysts can be malignant. It is good your mother is getting the ultrasound

According to the book, page 127 to be exact, with the abnormal bleeding, it sounds like your mother is experiencing polymenorrhea. This can be due to hormonal imbalances and may have nothing to do with the cystic lesion (which also may have resulted from hormonal imbalances). The doctors should be checking on her hormone levels from the hypothalamus/pituitary, her insulin level (which should be under 10) as well as her lesion. This means she may need to consult her PCP about seeing an endocrinologist.

For the lesion, surgery can remove it, and the doctors will check to determine if it cancerous. If it is, chemotherapy and/or radiation have excellent results these days.

Your mother%26#039;s chances are excellent, but she is under a lot of stress, as are you. Taking some time out, to be there for each other, exercising together, or other anti-stress activities may be helpful, and may work to help relieve her depression.

I don%26#039;t think you are likely to lose your mother any time soon.|||its probably just an ovarian cyst. they can be painful and cause the bleeding. i have had a few. it could be nothing. if it turned out t o be cancer the good news i all they have to do is give your mom a hysterectomy and she will be fine. think for the best.|||A cyste isnt always malignant,isnt always cancer and isnt always fatal….so your mum gotta stay positive and calm,I mean her body and mind must have had a major shock after your dads death so her body still can experience some after-effect so to say.Why did she have an MRI,was she feeling sick and did she have a lot of pain?YOU too calm down,who says you gonna lose your mum right now,the doctor didnt so think positively,please and support your mum best you can.Take care

My hair was melted off by a bad straightener - well not all the way, but bad enough that it made me depressed and stressed out and on top of that now I%26#039;m in the middle of changing jobs and could have cancer. I%26#039;ve never been mad at God, but here lately, I%26#039;ve had such a rotten attitude because I thought He wasn%26#039;t supposed to give us more than we can handle. Can anyone pray for me to be stronger and for all this to pass?|||I regret that you are having so many problems. I can understand your feelings about God. You wonder how much more you can take.

I will definitely say a prayer for you . I%26#039;ve enclosed a link where you can light a candle and pray. I really love to go to this place it%26#039;s so peaceful.

Call your doctor and get those results immediately. Getting the results–no matter what they are–will help. At least if it%26#039;s cancer you can move forward with treatment and not be stuck in this limbo. Of course, everything is going to seem overwhelming now. Take a deep breath and tell yourself %26quot;I can do this.%26quot; Because you can. Cripes, if I can do it, anyone can. LOL|||I haven%26#039;t heard from you in a while, I really wish you would%26#039;ve kept in touch with me…. sorry about your situation.

hi im nataly im 12 and im frm CA my grandma has cancer and i know its almost time for her to go to heaven, but how do i handle it? like me personally.|||Just realize that your grandma is going to a better place now where she wont be in any more pain from her cancer. Ovarian cancer can be very painful and when your grandma goes to heaven she will be happier and pain free. Its okay to be sad about it and it may take alot of time for you to feel better, but that is alright. Just know that your grandma loves you alot and she will always watch over you where she can be happy. I hope this helped. Good luck.

She doesn%26#039;t want to talk about it, but her family needs to know what she will be going through so we can be emotionally prepared. She seems to have little to no pain; has had a high colostomy to relieve strangulation of her intestine by the spreading tumor. Her main symptoms are a distended abdomen and she is very weak.

All the cancer sites online tell about treatments for fighting the disease, but none of them tell us about end of life issues when chemo and radiation are declined by the patient.|||Her doctor or the hospital should have resources that include hospice care, hopefully. And it is helpful if you develop a good working relationship with her doctor, and speak with him/her about how you will actually manage her care and pain control as the disease progresses. If you can arrange for hospice care, the hospice will have people available to help you and your family, as well as your mother, prepare for the paticular challenges you will face. Since she has opted not to have chemo or radiation, future treatment will be strictly for symptom control and her comfort. In hospice, there are no treatments aimed to extend life, only to provide for comfort and dignity for the person. The staff includes nursing personnel with experience in supporting the patient and family, spiritual advisors, and counsellors who can work with you all as you go through the difficult process.

The final progress of the disease varies for many women. Usually there are respiratory problems, and her kidneys may fail. She will get progressively weaker, and it%26#039;s not unusual for them to stop eating, or not eat much at all beyond a few bites. She will tend to sleep more and more, and of course pain medications will tend to make her sleep more as well. She will likely reach an accomodation with her end before the rest of you are able, and I would not be surprised if she tries to help you all reach acceptance before the end comes. The patients usually do try to say their goodbyes and reassure those who will go on living.

I%26#039;m sorry this is what you must face in the near future. The dying itself is usually the easy part, it%26#039;s the surviving that proves the challenge. If you and your family, and your mother are religious people, it does help a great deal to have your spiritual advisor for support and assistance. If hospice care is not available, then the people at the hospital should have resources available to help you when the time comes. You can also look for grief counsellors, for the family at least. Cancer treatment centers also are good sources for aid and assistance, and have support groups and people that can answer many of your questions. I hope for you all, your mother and your family, that you find a sense of peace and help to cope with what is to come.|||Sounds like your Mom just wants to be kept comfortable.

I wish my husband would have handled his cancer that way.

He was sliced and diced and suffered lots and lots.

The family will need to give her lots of support thru this most difficult of times.

The family will also need lots of support thru this.

Contact your local Hospice and ask for support with this.

They are wonderful and not all about treatment.

I wish your family an easy transition!|||When you say advanced, do you mean it has metastasized to other organs? Is she a candidate for surgery? If the cancer is confined to the ovaries, surgery is a must. If there is metastasis, she knows what her survival rate is and has accepted this. Help for the family can come from a hospice provider. The nurse will come to your mother%26#039;s home to evaluate her, recommend effective pain medications and counsel the family on what to expect. Hospice staff are very courteous, sympathetic and will be with you and your mother until the end. The grief counseling continues for family even after the patient dies. You can also seek spiritual counsel from your pastor.|||Talk with someone in hospice. They are very helpful in this area.

I have not started my period for almost 4 months now. Lately, I have been gaining more weight (I eat and exercise good). I have also been having really really bad lower back pains.
