I have found this board to be very helpful in my quest for the answer to my health problems. I unfortunately think this cancer may be a possibility for me. I cant seem to get an answer from doctors other than "well, that's just the way it is...." or "it cant be anything, you dont have anything left". In any case, what really got to me was someone asking me when I was due the other day. I have gained weight TERRIBLY since my ovaries were removed, but most noticably in my abdomen. Also, my stomach hurts often, I have diahrrea all the time, I stay fatigued, and most recently, I am having the MOST horrible hot flashes. It has been almost 2 years since the surgery, and I have never had hot flashes like this. Can anyone tell me a little more about the symptoms? And is your stomach hard or soft? (sometimes mine is hard, other times just feels like fat) The upset stomach episodes are violent sometimes. I would appreciate any help as everyone seems to be a wealth of information. What worries me MOST is the odd coincidences leading to this. I just began a brand new job, a fellow trainee is the one that asked me when I was due, (which upset me greatly)an e-mail was sent to me today by a former co-worker on this cancer that I have never heard of before (and I havent talked to her in a year, so she doesnt know any of this) and the most coincidental and scary fact of all: My new job is with a Hospice Agency. I am terrified.
