2 years of problems

I have had ongoing gyn/gastro issues for over 2 (two) years now with no firm diagnosis as of yet.
During this time, I have had countless ultrasounds (last ultrasound was performed in March of this year), 2 CT scans (last CT scan was performed in May of this year) and an MRI (although the MRI was a while back).  I also have had an upper endoscopy and a colonoscopy.  And, lots of bloodwork.
My symptoms include:  chronic bloating, twinges of pain near my right ovary, irregular bowel movements, back pain, regular fatigue.
I am still very concerned about the prospect of having ovarian cancer.
Is it even possible to have ovarian cancer that can go undetected for this long period of time?
I am incredibly worried that this is what I might be dealing with and that it's going undetected.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

the last CT scan i had (take in the ER) was this past may and the ER doc did not report back that there was anything on the ovaries.

i also had an ultrasound this past march (done by a GYN) and he reported a cyst that he was not worried about.  

i would assume that the CT in may would've picked up on anything wrong with the ovaries, however again, nothing was brought to my attention.

this past june marks two years of my having symptoms and i'm still worried i have ovarian cancer.

could it possibly go undetected for this long?

please help.

Has the CT SCans, etc showed any type of masses on or around the ovaries?  Do you still ovulate?
