I am a breast cancer surivor 3 years now. I have lost 25 pounds in the last 3 months. Several rounds of nause & voimting, bloating, low back & abdominial pain. Took out my gallbladder now back the same problems.
Gone thru every GI test you can imagine still finding nothing. Now starting with bowel changes.

Is is possible to have ovarian cancer with out having your ovaries?

Well, they removed my ovaries after I was diagnosed, and we still test monthly and CT scan quarterly for no recurrence. The bowel is a common place for ovarian cancer to recur. If you are bloating and having bowel problems, I'd sure ask some questions.

Two primary cancers are rather rare (in your case beast cancer and possible ovarian cancer). I suspect that what you think is an ovarian cancer is in fact metastasis of the breast cancer. Ask your medical team about this possibility. Good luck and God bless you.
