Dear Adriana,
I don't know if this is the advice you want to hear, but your oncologist is busy and he is right it is not likely (to end up as ovarian c), but it is possible.
When I had concerns similar to yours - traveling pain in the abdomen - I went to my ob/gyn she referred me to have an ultrasound of the ovaries. It turned out to be negative, I was still happy to have had it.
Good luck Adriana,
Odette
