QUESTION: Why is it so fatal? RESPONSE: While early detection improves the chances that ovarian cancer can be treated successfully, early cancers of the ovaries rarely cause symptoms that women would notice, or the symptoms are mistaken for menopausal ailments or intestinal illnesses. As a result, almost 70 percent of women with ovarian cancer are not diagnosed until the disease is advanced in stage, making it the most deadly of all cancers of the female reproductive system.
Bad stuff...spread the word please, and get yourself checked, no matter what your age is...
