I want to ask one more question before I go to bed. If a female has ovarian cancer and she like me has?

sypmtoms of bloating, lower back pain sometimes, period like crams without a period, irregular periods, thirsy at night, and they have stage one, can they be treated with just drugs? Becasuse I am scared of operations, and will be scared of Chemotherapy becasue of the side effects. Please if there is another way to cure this other than horrible surgery and chemo please tell me, I need to know. I hate hospitals, and have a fear of operations. Please Help me.

Go to cancer treatment center of america. No doubt the price is outrageous but the atmosphere is great and comforting to get you through this. (So I hear) Plus they offer alternative medicine treatments and nutrition "programs" so help you recover faster.





Because of my family history with breast cancer I pretty much KNOW I will get it at one point and I've already decided when that happens, that's where I will go to get treatment.

You have caught this cancer at an early stage, which is usually rare and so you are lucky.


Ovarian cancer at an early stage can be treated.


Most likely you will have to under go surgery to have the ovaries removed. They may remove the uterus and other female reproductive system organs. You will probably have to have chemotherapy.





I know that it is scary to go through. But be strong. There is a good chance you are going to make it out of this! It is very curable if caught early.





Chemo doesn't last that long only like a month or so...but it is something that isn't pleasant to go through, but you have to say MY LIFE IS WORTH FIGHTING THIS...yeah the side effects might suck but in the end it will be worth it.
Reply:As faar as I know there is nothing else, which is a shame. I too had surgury and now in chemo, it's amazing how strong you will be when faced with no other options, I truly wish there was another way. Bless your heart, it's nasty at times but you WILL get through it. I willl pray you get more strength. Fellow cancer patient.
Reply:The only way to tell if you have cancer is with a biopsy of the tumor.





You have asked these identical questions numerous times. Go to a doctor as the answers you need are not here.
Reply:Treatment options are something you need to discuss with your oncologist.





They will be able to advise what options are available, and what survival rates you can expect.





I could have left my cancer untreated, and been dead in about 12 months, or accept 6 months of surgery, chemo, radiation and feeling like cr@p, and have a 30% chance of it coming back in 5 years, with the odds improving as time went on.





I am still hear, feeling great and fully recovered 3 years down the track. I chose treatment over certain death.





Good luck!
