What are the signs. How can you tell? The net is so vague. Please dont answer with what you think. Only if you have been through it or know.

from my understanding, there isnt really a good way to know early, which is why ovarian cancer has one of the highest death rates of all the types of cancer (early detection is key to survival)

if you have family history of ovarian cancer or if you have ovarian cysts, then it is a good idea to talk to your gynecologist about screening, and early detection.

every time i have a cyst burst, they do an ultra sound to see if it is cancerous. and then a few weeks later to see if it has gone away or not.

they will also feel your ovaries during a pelvic exam (two fingers) and feel for hard peices, but this method is not fool proof, a lot of times it is undetectable by physically manipulating the ovaries.
