Ovarian Cancer

[Shy999]

Is it possible to have Ovarian Cancer without a noticable cysts or mass present on U/S?  The reason I ask is because my doctor has been checking me out for symptoms she says "closely relate to ovarian cancer."  My U/S looked "normal" she said, but she still wants me to see another doctor.  All I know is that I feel terrible and there is something going on.  I don't want them to miss anything, but I don't want to press something if it isn't a possibility.

Thanks for the comment back.  I had a CA-125 which came back within "normal" range.  I just feel terrible, I would like to be able to eat more than three bites of a meal with out feeling full and the abdominal swelling isn't my favorite either.  Add on the fatigue, pain, and all the other "abnormalities" that have become a part of my life, and I feel like a big mess!! Unfortunatley I don't have the best family history and that doesn't help the situation.  Anyway, thanks again...and hopefully they will figure out what is going on real soon!!

Hi,
Yes it is possible to have ovarian cancer without a cyst or mass , especially if it is early ovarian cancer. I would definately go and see this other doctor and tell him all of your symptoms and maybe get a ca125 blood test and a ct scan. If you feel really unwell then the reason has to be found as to why your  feeling like that . Hope everything goes ok and let us know what happens.
