I hope this isn't too long. I am a three-year breast cancer survivor, now 42, never smoked, never had children. My only past surgeries were a lumpectomy in December 2002 (with chemo and radiation), a thyroid hemi-ectomy for a benign goiter in December 2004. Since January 2005, I've been dealing with fatigue and occasional pain in my right ovary. In May 2005 my left ovary was removed after a 6cm diameter cyst was found on it, but I was told my right ovary "looked normal." I have endured colonoscopies, endoscopies, GI ultrasounds, blood work, you name it, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with my GI tract. The pain in my right ovary has been constant and getting gradually worse since December 2005. I have five of the NCI's six warning symptoms of ovarian cancer. I've been to three gynecologists in the past 14 months but when I ask about ovarian cancer they basically act like I'm just paranoid. I was in the ER last week because my sodium and potassium levels suddenly dropped, and no one seems to know why, or if they do they're not telling me. My most recent ultrasound (Feb 2006) showed that I have cysts on my right ovary, but I've been told I have to wait for a follow-up ultrasound at the end of March before any action will be taken. Is this really standard procedure? It seems to me that if early detection is so important for surviving ovarian cancer, then doctors ought to take their patients seriously when they report symptoms, especially when GI problems have been completely ruled out. Thanks for your time.
