Hi Jan - Had one ovary removed in February - symptoms for two months were blood clots in my legs - professor didn't know what was causing them so sent me for a CT scan and there was this "squatter" - had it whipped out - gynecologist thought it was fine and third day - bad result - luckily for me stage 1 - now 6 months later and I am going in for surgery on Tuesday to have the other one removed - biopsy's and stomach washing to double check that there has been no spread. Sending a prayer your way to be strong and positive - because I believe that we can beat this! Take care. Anet, South Africa
