Your descriptions do not match with ovarian cancer or bowel cancer (which is what you had the last time you were here). My son has a stage IV abdominal sarcoma that in females presents as ovarian or uterine cancer, so I know quite a bit about abdominal cancers. The protocol for both females and males with this type of abdominal cancer is often the same. We have been fighting his disease for over two years, been through three major surgeries, months of chemotherapy, and currently embarking on experimental trials. I am in contact with hundreds of other cancer patients and many caregivers. Since my son was diagnosed we have lost over a hundred people to this disease that we know personally. I am familiar with every stage of the disease and have conducted extensive research looking for a solution. One thing that I am certain about advanced abdominal (ovarian) cancer is that it ’seeds’ into the abdominal cavity. Your descriptions do not match any of this. Early ovarian cancer is usually treatable and curable.
If you have ovarian cancer there are hundreds of good websites you can go to to find reliable information, including the National Cancer Institute.
NCI: Ovarian www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/t…
These are very general symptoms that can be attributed to other causes. In general ovarian cancer has no symptoms until it is very advanced.
“Possible signs of advanced ovarian cancer include pain or swelling in the abdomen.
Early ovarian cancer may not cause any symptoms. When symptoms do appear, ovarian cancer is often advanced. Symptoms of advanced ovarian cancer may include the following:
Pain or swelling in the abdomen .
Pain in the pelvis.
Gastrointestinal problems, such as gas, bloating, or constipation.
These symptoms may be caused by other conditions and not by ovarian cancer. If the symptoms get worse or do not go away on their own, a doctor should be consulted so that any problem can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. When found in its early stages, ovarian epithelial cancer can often be cured.”
You have posted these questions dozens of times and often with contradictory information. Go back to your oncologist and ask for more information about the disease. They are on call 24 hours so there is never any reason you can not reach a doctor. Anyone who has cancer would know that.
Good luck.

Ovarian cancer, also called carcinoma of the ovary, is a type of cancer that begins in one or both ovaries. The ovaries are female reproductive organs that produce eggs called ova. They are also the primary source of estrogen and progesterone, the female reproductive hormones. The ovaries are located in the pelvis on each side of the uterus (womb).
If you’d like additional information on ovarian cancer, including treatment options, questions to ask the doctor and staging, please visit the site below: http://cancer.health.ivillage.com/reprod…

Any cancer diagnosis is scary.
It is often helpful to get in touch with your local support group.
Good luck in fighting this disease.

HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY IN YOUR CITY?
THEY HAVE INFORMATION AND CAN DIRECT YOU.
MY DAUGHTER IN LAW HAD BREAST CANCER AND THEY REMOVED HER OVARIES TO PREVENT OVARIAN CANCER.
DIFFERENT CANCERS HAVE DIFFERENT SYMPTOMS
AND ALSO, PEOPLE REACT DIFFERENTLY TO DIFFERENT CANCERS. SO NOTHING IS SET IN STONE.
I WORK IN HOSPICE AND HAVE FOUND OUT THAT PRAYER DOES CHANGE THINGS.
MAY GOD BE CLOSE TO YOU AT THIS TIME..

I know that this is no answer, and I really have no advice for you, but I want you to know that I wish you well and I hope you do recover.
