I had a Total Hysterectomy last year for Ovarian Cancer. Had a softball tumor on left ovary. Cancer leaked into abdominal fluid, so they took everything & then some. Went for Chemo & am now doing follow ups. My Huz is a 23 year survivor of malanoma cancer & 9 years prostrate cancer. He had surgery & radiation for prostrate cancer. It came back in 1.5 years. He had 2nd surgery 7 years ago & so far no re-occurance.

Breast cancer is nasty, but so are many others. Ovarian is called the silent killer & many have little knowledge of the symptoms. Many assume it's just a bad period or menopause. Even docs often miss it until it's spread. We need better awareness on all cancers. If caught early they can be cured.
