Symptoms and complications of ovarian cancer
Did you experience any early warning signs of ovarian cancer before diagnosis?

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Hello everyone,
Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a “silent” disease because its early symptoms can be subtle and easily mistaken for something else. This can lead to delayed diagnosis, which may affect treatment outcomes.
Some of the most common early signs include persistent pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, digestive issues (like nausea or loss of appetite), frequent urination, and unexplained fatigue. Because these symptoms can resemble more benign conditions, it’s important to pay attention to their duration and intensity.
Early detection significantly improves the chances of effective treatment.
👉 Have you noticed any unusual or ongoing pelvic pain?
👉 How long have you been experiencing bloating or abdominal discomfort?
👉 Have you talked to a healthcare professional about it?
