Hi Veronica,

I am sorry you are feeling so crummy. I have not heard of a specific relationship to ORS and cancer. If you have, I would like to know where you found the info. I have heard of a woman (who didn't have endo) who had a total hyst w/both ovaries removed and years later she had ovarian cancer. This would point to the fact that it is difficult to get all the ovary out. But I don't think just because we have ORS would make us more likely to get ovarian ca.

I would assume your doc had a pathology report of what they removed from you during your last surgery. Get a copy of that to see what it says. Since they just did the last surgery in June, you would think that they would have seen something going on?

My stomach has its days of being swelled up and looking pregnant. Part of that has to be lack of muscle tone from the different surgeries. Also, the hormonal ups and downs play a part in that too. Are you nauseated or throwing up? Having regular normal bowel movements? Try eating small frequent meals to see if it helps.

Your problem with feeling full, makes me wonder about your bowels first. Would your doctor being willing to take payments if you were to go and see her. (It seems if she has been your doc for some time, that she would be willing to help you out.) What kind of medication is she giving you?

Have you not been able to get to your new job? Explain that to your doc too,if it is the case.

Let me know what happens.

Best wishes, D.N.
