other cancers
Hi Mary Jo,
I didn't see anything in your message saying whether or not there is ovarian cancer in any of your family history so I would guess not?
My aunt died of ovarian cancer so I found a clinical trial for those with bc who have a family history for ovarian cancer and who are monitored for ovarian cancer. Part of the purpose of the trial is to collect data to see if yearly transvaginal ultrasounds plus periodic CA-125's are helpful, and part of the purpose is to use the blood collected to also look for better markers for ovarian cancer.
My CA-125 has varied from the 6-12 in the 4 years I have been in the trial and all TVUS's have been clear.
