Question - Mets to Ovaries
I have pain (not constant) and a feeling of pressure a few inches above the pubic bone on the right side abdomen. I am Stage III, ER/PR-, HER2+ and going through neoadjunct chemo. Had 4 rounds A/C and one round Taxatore. Still have 3 rounds Taxatore to go before surgery. Could this pain that I’m experiencing be mets to the ovaries? I had a hysterectomy years ago but they left the ovaries. I’ve seen that a few women on the site have had their ovaries removed and was wondering if it was due to mets or just a precaution. I see my oncologist Wednesday and am going to bring this to her attention.
