I read this thread with great interest- it seems like ages ago now..
today my sister is off to surgery in vancouver for ovarian cancer
I don't know if there is a link but she did have HPV.
The whole thing is very scarey- until 3 weeks ago I was running with her weekly- she seemed in good health - although she was complaining more of abdominal cramping and pain after she ate.
I find it shocking how quickly one's health can deteriorate.
Today when she left, she looked like the living dead God: it is awful!
We won't know too much until after the surgery- ie whether it has metastasized and to what extent- hmmmm I am sick with worry and regret- I wished i had spoken up when she looked worn out, I wished I had pushed her more to see another Dr when she first complained of odd abdominal pain 10 yrs ago...I just feel sad about the whole thing.
