Question about ovarian cancer symptoms?
by LC on Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 | 10 Comments
Can ovarian cancer cause swelling, pain and pressure on the vagina and rectum to where you can sit in a chair straight.
Pain that runs down left inner thigh, lower back pain, pain in sides, and pelvic pain. Also, I have been gaining weight since January.
I have masses and ovarian cysts. One of these measure 9.7 hounsfield units. What is that? The doctor did a CA-125 test, ct scan, colonoscopy, and ultrasound inner and outer. I go back on Monday, and I can’t sleep.
I had a partial hysterectomy in 2002.
Also, My aunt was diagnosed in 2003 and died in 2004. She gained weight also. She weighed 400lbs and had gained weight when she died. She had a cyst the size of a mellon that busted during exploratory surgery. So, I am scared right now.
Hi:
My mother died of ovarian cancer. She said she wasn’t in pain, but did say she felt pressure in the abdomen. Towards
the end of her life, did have pressure in the vagina and rectum, that we now know was the tumour.
However, she lost weight, not gained. Also the symptoms
you describe, and that she had, could be due to other less
severe illnesses. I was glad to hear you had the test
done. You mention that you have masses and ovarian cysts.
These may not be cancerous, and could be benign growths.
Some of these symptoms seem to resemble that but the one major thing I know about cancer is that you Lose weight instead of gaining it.

The monumental passing of the Health Care Reform Bill has Americans cheering and jeering across the nation. I think we can all agree that heath care did need an overhaul — rising health care costs and lack of coverage by so many was getting out of hand. For some people with cancer, health care costs and insurance can be matters of life and death. I don’t know how many times I have heard patients say “I can’t afford this treatment, even though my doctor says it will work” or “I can’t get insurance coverage because I was treated for leukemia 5 years ago, but it’s in remission”.
