Higher risk of ovarian Cancer for severe endo sufferers
After my final post op appointment with my surgeon a few weeks ago he said that unfortunatley there would be two downsides to my endo (other than ? fertility). One being that i had a 10-20% chance of my endo returning (which i thought was quiet low, i was thinking about 50-60 + chance) and that I had a high risk of developing Ovarian cancer. So every year i have to have a transvaginal ultrasound, to check on the state of my ovaries. I was just wondering if anybody else had been told this, as i think it is very important for us endo girls to know, especially as ovarian cancer can't be detected, usually until it is to late!
Anyway maybe when you see your specialists you could maybe ask them, as they say prevention is better than cure!
