ovarian cancer
Hello out there my pink sisters. I just read a leaflet at work that says there is an increased chance of ovarian cancer if you have had breast cancer. Does anyone know if this is so? Has anyone else...
Hi Viv and ladies,
I saw on FB today through 'Pink Hope' global research data says brca1 carroiers should have ovaries out by 35 years of age, brca2 by 40.

I'm heading to my first appointment on thursday to get booked in for removal of ovaries/tubes - I'm 33, BRCA2, it would be terrible to get through the last 6 years and think 'I did it' then get ovarian cancer!
goodluck, check out the link,
