Welcome to Connect, @colfordconnors
You'll notice that I moved your message asking about ovarian cancer and metastatic ovarian cancer to an existing discussion group. I did this so you could meet others talking about ovarian cancer, like @joannedb @katethegreat @caf132 @rena42 @pauldale4 @laurieann789 @pat417 and @seansfather

Colford, you might also be interested in this discussion:

While we wait for others to return to the discussion, we look forward to getting to know more about you. Are you looking for information about ovarian cancer for yourself or for someone you care for?

I am 2 years out from ovarian cancer Stage 3c-had a big surgery and chemo therapy. Still feel exhausted, partly because of so many checkups and Blood Tests! But my cancer dr. Just mentioned at my last visit that it could come back ( some of the contamination could have been missed) and since I had some very small breast lumps (lumpectomy) and a recent colonoscopy taking out 4 precancerous polyps I am bracing but don’t know either how common recurrence is.I am about to be 77. Would like to hear some others’ experience with this.

A best friend of mine, passed after a horrific fight with ovarian cancer. Both of us took clomid during our fertility work ups and I took perganol with an unsuccessful IVF in the 1980's. Like the women with the braca gene, afraid of getting cancer and having a complete mastectomy, I wonder if I should have my ovaries removed, due to the overstimulation of my ovaries, through in my early thirties. Perhaps, I should just live by faith alone.
