First of all, it is hard to say, you are too young to get cancer, but hey, you are statistically too young : )
Ok, second, chances are bigger, if someone in your family had the history of cancerous disease.
Third, ovarian pain, definitely doesn’t mean ovarian pain!!! Maybe you have just some sort of tumor on ovaries (or one of them), which is often a cause for pain. These sort of benign tumors (not cancerous) just need to be removed with laparoscopy (routine procedure).
And, fourth, and maybe the most important, GO TO GYNECOLOGIST! Check up with gynecologist will tell you for sure whether you have ovarian cancer (and I am almost sure you are just panicking) or if you have tumor on ovaries (I am not saying you have tumor, but just suggesting possible cause for ovarian pain). Honestly, go to your gynecologist (you should go there once a year), at least to have some peace of mind. |

You are never too young for cancer. My child was diagnose at the age of 18 months. Cancer does not have a age limit. |

| You're never to young to be diagnosed with cancer. My best friend lost her right ovary to ovarian cancer when she was 19. |

Excuse me..but where on earth did you ever get the idea that being young means you are cancer free?? That is about the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I was 25 when diagnosed with cervical cancer. I think you should know your facts before giving advise!!!

Never too young to have cancer. It is does not discriminate.
Get checked. |
