All's Well that Ends Well - Ovarian Cancer scare update

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

First, thanks again for the information from those who posted back on my query

for a friend. I forwarded most of these emails along and they were very well

received. As it happens, the first thing that my friend's wife decided to do

was to have the CA-125 test done again to see what the results would be. They

came back low. Two weeks ago she was being told (based on her u/s and the

CA-125) to have both ovaries, removed, NOW; this week she gets back test results

invalidating the first set of test results. So, they have breathed a big sigh

of relief; if they decide to do a biopsy on her cyst, that's ok, or if they

decide to do frequent u/s, that's ok too. She does have what she describes as

very bad pain during ovulation (worse than any menstrual cramps) and will

probably want to investigate whether she can do anything about it or not. BUT

she's not rushing to have body parts removed.

best,

laurie g.
