I would schedule a biopsy ASAP! Having family members with ovarian cancer put you at an increased risk. You can find all kinds of info on the web. Also there is a blood test called the CA-125 that can help diagnose this even though per info on the web it is not completely reliable. This test can be purchased at the web for $75 if your doctor is reluctanted to have your insurance pay for it. I had to fight for 2 months to get this test through the insurance only to find out I could have bought it on the web.
