very interesting article wonderful post because most common problem in women’s lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is less than 2 percent. But women with mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes may be three to seven times more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women with unaltered forms of the genes.

This is a very thorough and informative article. Tom, thank you so much for putting this together. I can say the same about the skin and prostate cancer articles- great job.

Sorry to hear about your friend Angie. That’s terrible coming back after five years. You would have thought she was in the clear.

We had a friend of the family who died of ovarian cancer. It happened 10+ years ago, when we weren’t as educated about the symptoms. She was the small percent that shouldn’t have had it, only in her 30s, 2 children, not overweight, no family history, but she did. She never had chemo though, and I wonder what the outcome would have been if she would have. She wanted to treat it naturally and had surgery and they thought they removed it all, it came back right around her 5 year anniversary of the surgery – but this time with a vengeance.

Thanks for such a thorough post, maybe it will help someone spot the symptoms and catch it early!
