I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, had three surgeries as I had invasive breast cancer. This August will be 2 years since my chemo and radiation. I've had side pain, back pain, pain in my legs, urinating often, feeling tired, bloated and constipated for awhile now............what are the chances of me getting ovarian cancer?
