Ovarian cancer is one of those diseases that can be a bit grim. It’s often thought that because it occurs after menopause, men have a higher risk, but I personally think it’s the opposite. Men tend to have a much higher recurrence rate and suffer from more cancers. That’s why we should get some education on this disease. I am in no way advocating for getting rid of all the sex.
As you may have already noticed, I am a big supporter of ovarian cancer awareness. There are several organizations that are dedicated to educating women about this disease. I don’t think its a disease that should be ignored.
I could go on and on with this and other issues that I’ve seen, but if you’ve read this far, you know that I’m only into the topic of menopause. I also encourage anyone who is interested, to watch this video so you have a better idea of what I’m talking about.
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common cancers, affecting about one out of every two women at some point in their lives. In the US, about 25% of women will experience some form of ovarian cancer in their lifetimes. While there have been advances in treatment and prevention in the past few years, ovarian cancer will always be a mystery to many women.
A few years back I heard a story from a friend of mine. He was a young, single, male, who had this horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible disease that had spread to his ovaries, and his uterus. He was in and out of the hospital for years, and he didn’t know what to do about it. I was so glad that I was able to talk with him when I saw him again a few months ago.
This time, he was able to explain it to me, and it was because he was able to see how our bodies are designed to fight cancer. And he was able to see how the very idea of a cancer being “in your ovaries” is a myth. It is not a tumor, or a tumor, or a tumor. It is not a virus or a virus, or a virus. It is the very idea of a cancer.
He was able to explain how the cells that make up your ovaries are designed to fight the very idea of a cancer. This is a very common thing to hear when you talk to a survivor. Some people have this idea that you can’t be cancer-free and the cancer gets into your system and it’s always there, never gone, and that’s the only way it can be fixed. The good news is that this isnt true.
There is a really good chance you can cure ovarian cancer. The odds of that are very very high. A woman who has ovarian cancer will have a very good chance of being cured. It only takes one person with ovarian cancer to have a cure. Most ovarian cancers are caused by a genetic mutation. There are hundreds of them in the US alone. There are also a few cases where the cancer is caused by a non-genetic reason like a viral infection.
I hope you got that one off the chart. This is one of those rare cases where a genetic mutation is responsible for a small percentage of all ovarian cancers. The majority are caused by a viral infection, so this is one of those rare cases where the cause of the disease is not known.
While our research is still in its infancy, it looks as though there is an increased risk of ovarian cancer among those who have sex for the first time. There are several other studies that link the presence of a fertilized egg to an increased risk of ovarian cancer. It is possible that the sperm/egg combination contributes to the development of ovarian cancer, which we’ll discuss more later.
