ovarian cancer years after hysterectomy
Is it possible to get ovarian cancer after having a hysterectomy almost thirty years ago? I have had some strange symptoms and am a little nervous. Diahria, lower back pain, severe bloating , sudden nausea, etc. I am 49 years old, I had endometriosis as a teen, resulting in cervical cancer and a hysterectomy at the age of 23.
I had a hysterectomy (removal of everything) back in 2001. the cancer returned after 4 years so yes it is likely..
never heared it being in remission for that long though so thats hopefull....
Good luck at your Dr's appt

Marie is correct....it is possible to be diagnosed with OvCa after having a hysterectomy, but it is very rare....it is often refered to as Primary Perotenial Cancer.
You know your body, if you feel that there is something wrong, then you should go to a doctor.
Good luck.
