my wife ,66 years old..was just diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer.. she is upset, naturally, and mad because she was told that ovarian cancer usually doesn't show up until it is to late.. she is religious about her checkups and mammograms and paps!! she comes to me with all sorts of questions and i usually find them on this computer.. she had a partial hyst. done when she was 27 years old after 4 boys last ones being twins!!! my question is that if the uterus and fallopian tubes were still there . would there be more of a chance that something would show up as some sort of discharge from the vigina?or a pap type test??what happens to the eggs when the ovaries are just left in there and no place to go ??
