Just to be on the safe side

I'm optimistic that the bloating is something benign, even if it isn't easy to lose the extra weight. I gained 25 pounds with treatment and am still working on getting rid of some of it.

But because bloating specifically can be one sign of ovarian cancer, and because ovarian cancer is very hard to detect early, be sure and talk with your PCP and onc about it. They may do a transabdominal or transvaginal ultrasound and/or a CA-125 for you as a precaution.
