This is so very scary! The lady knew something wasn't right but kept getting misdiagnosed and told she was alright! There's definitely a need for a quicker and more accurate diagnosis!

It seems as though they've never been able to come up with a very good screening tool for ovarian cancer except for a pelvic ultrasound. They do use the CA-125 as a means of measuring the progress of the disease once a patient is diagnosed but not as a screening tool. It's a dreadful disease.

If there's no good screening test for this ailment and the symptoms are difficult to identify, I can't see how even being aware of this ailment will help reduce its influence on women. They just need to come up with some way of screening it.

People like to worry about stuff they can't control.
