Ovarian Issues

Hi, all. I am curious. First of all, I am 48 and approx. 189 lbs, and have 4 children ages 10-20. I had my right ovary and tube removed in 2002 due to monthly cysts. It was terrible. I also had an endo ablation (burned the lining of my uterus out). I have many fibroids (one being the size of a plum or so). Per OB/GYN I have been thrown into perimenopause. My last period was in March 2010.  I have been doing a boot camp of sorts for WT loss 3 x a week. It isn't too strenuous, though. (For beginners.) The last few weeks I have lost about 7 lbs, but the WEIRD thing is I cannot button pants that I wore BEFORE the weight loss!? I look about 5 months pregnant.  I am constantly fatigued, and have been for a good while now. Today, my mid left side of my back (the side I still have an ovary on) had a deep, dull pain when I bend, move, etc. Anyone with ovarian cancer with similar symptoms?

With the issues you have had in the past, it might lead one to have such thoughts about cancer but in reality, your chances are quite slim.  The symptoms you describe are very vague and can be caused from so many things.  Even if it is a cyst, more than 90% are benign.  But you obviously need to see your doctor to find out the cause of the issue.  Although chances are slim, that doesn't mean the slight chance of cancer isn't still there.  Peace of mind means a lot.  

Best Wishes,
