 Unfortunately it does not sound good especially if they took her uterus out because of cancer. Just get a good oncologist and if it is OC they will have to be aggressive. We found in our studies on OC that women who had cancer at a young age in the uterus were better off taking out their ovaries as a prevention but as that is not an option all the best and find a great doctor. You may want to consult with www.cancercenter.com as they have many OC survivors and have live help on their pages. All the best mms.

My step daughter is 38.  Had severe side pain and went to er.  They did a CT scan and found a large (tennis ball size) mass on one ovary.  She had a hysterctomy 5 years ago, but they left both ovaries.  They sent her to her ob-gyn and he sent her for a ca-125 blood test.  Her score was 165 and all her blood levels were way off....such as white cell count was 16 (should be below a 10)  Her gyn is very concerned and is sending her to a gyn oncologist on tue... We are just worried sick.  Does anyone have any feedback.  She is not dealing with this well, nor her 3 kids.....

mmsurvivor:why do you have to be such a pessimist? nobody said she had to have her uterus out because of cancer
