What Are The Chances Of Ovarian Cancer?

Im 65 year old female and the tingling in my hands arms legs and feet go on all day and night. My fingers on my right hand are starting to cause some pain and itching. I just had a ct and mri of stomach and pelvic looking for kidney problems etc, and I do have a 2cm cancer on my kidney. I read a lot of the internet about the causes, like MS and other neurological problems. I am experiencing extreme anxiety over the past four weeks due to an ovarian cancer scare and the kidney result. I am otherwise healthy, except for acid reflux and high cholesterol. I just started taking lipator and am using dexilant for GERD.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If you have got CT scan and MRI scan of abdomen and pelvis that confirms normal ovaries then it is unlikely that you have a ovarian cancer. The 2 cm ?cancer in the kidney is a concern. A 2 cm lesion in kidney is a small one but requires complete evaluation and treatment as the report says about a probable cancer in the area.

Any cancer can cause symptoms like weight loss more than 10 percent in two months that cannot be explained, generalized weakness and fatigue, swellings in the body, blood counts going down, easy tiredness. In addition, ovarian cancer can cause a swelling that is rapidly growing in the lower abdomen that might cause little pain. It can also cause fluid collection and ascites. At 65 years age it is menopausal so menstrual disturbances might not be present. There are blood tests for tumor markers like CA 125 which tells the likelihood of ovarian cancer in women.

Since your report does not say anything about ovaries please do not worry. You should be concerned about the suspected kidney tumor and get it evaluated in detail and take treatment. Your cholesterol and GERD treatments are to be continued. Please do not worry.
