Ovarian Cancer Symptoms

Some of these symptoms may be quite subtle. Maybe only one or a few are obvious when they occur. However, if any of the symptoms persist for more than two weeks, it is just good common sense to find out why. Don't accept medical advice that is vague or doesn't seem reasonable. Insist on finding out exactly what is causing the symptom(s). Something else besides ovarian cancer may be occurring, and maybe it is just as serious. As has been noted elsewhere on this site, important and relatively recent comprehensive studies have shown that the same symptoms may occur in Stage One as occur later in the advanced stages, even if of less intensity.

The ultimate responsibility for your health lies with you, not your doctor.
