Reply:cancer will not necessarily make you iller as time goes by, i had cancer growing in my breast for what the doctor estimate was at least 16 years before it was found and i never had a single sympton..not even a lump

The best and cheaper way to see what is happening inside you, is to take a high definition ultrasound of your lower pelvis, with 2D definition.


If there is a mass, it can be easily seen in the study, and will tell you the size...


That is the forst step....If there is a mass, it has to be excised..


However, the most common symptom of ovarian cancer, is NOT pain, but rather an increase of the abdominal girth, because the peritoneum is filled with fluid, coming from the tumor itself..


So, if you have pain in the lower ribs, the odds that you have ovarian cancer are indeed very remote..


However, to give you, peace of mind (and your doctor too) a high definition ultrasound of the pelvis is the thing to do next...relax....

Cancer doesnt always come with warning tags like pain, or dizzyniss. But anytime you have had problems you should always go get checked just incase.


The best way to fight cancer right now is by early detection.
