@lhmfamily01 How sad that your mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and there is no plan as yet. I am hopeful that your mother will get a quick response from the Mayo pathologists so that she and your family will have a plan.

The nerves involved with pain are so complex. Since you shared that her pain is “burning pain” I’m thinking it might be pain she feels more on the surface of her thigh extending from the pelvic area where the affected ovary is. Has she called her doctor? Even if her doctor isn’t available there should be someone on call. If it were me I’d be on the phone trying to get some suggestions on how to lessen the pain as it sounds just awful to me.

Does she have medication for pain that isn’t working? Has your mother tried Tylenol? What about a cool bath with Epsom salts which might be soothing or ice packs?
