Some work
done at UW and supervised by a scientist I had contact with while volunteering
at Fred Hutch shows that OVCA is not the “silent killer”, as it sometimes is
described, but rather exhibits certain definite symptoms even when the cancer is at an early stage. My take on this is that, although this “signal”
is present it tends to get lost in the “noise” of normal female biology. It is of little help to know the Russian
invasion plan for Ukraine, if they are written in Mayan – if you get my
drift. What is needed is a translation
that can differentiate between pains, bloating, appetite swings, etc., caused
by OVCA and bio-fluctuations that are normal.
I think we still have a way to go.
But read this article; maybe I’m wrong
