anyone know if ovarian cancer can spread to spine


Posted: Apr 2, 2012

If it can, does it show up on MRIs?   Not saying I have that, but having postmenopausal bleeding after 15 years, bloating, scared here. Not UTI. Thanks for any info.

Need to get that checked out ASAP - wheres_my_job

could be vaginal, cervical, uterine, anywhere. Lots of *info* (not medical advice online) - I'm not giving you advice here, just saying you need to get it checked out as soon as possible, keep track of your symptoms, go in and see someone. ((((hugs)))

Yes and yes - Do you have a doctor appointment set?

Yes, uterine cancer can spread to the spine and the lesions would very probably show up on an MRI.

Since you're talking MRI I'm assuming you have seen the doctor. They should have also done a CEA or a CA125 blood test as well which are tumor markers.

I'm going to think positive thoughts for you and that it's something benign that can be easily taken are of.

Well I had ultrasound today. MRI does not show any lesions. The sonographer did not see anything so maybe I am okay.

I Have CancerSep 24, 2011
I consider this my MT community.  I feel we have a sense of sisterhood here. Renal cell carcinoma.  What I thought was bouts of kidney stones for the last year has been a massive tumor growing on my left kidney.  CT scan reveals a left lower pole renal mass measuring 10 x 7 cm.  I am scheduled for left nephrectomy on Friday, but hopefully sooner.  Knowing this thing is growing inside me is horrible.  I am handling it very calmly, which is surprising even to m ...

CancerSep 07, 2013
I just had an ultrasound and a biopsy the other day for postmenopausal bleeding. The doctor said he had to test for cancer of course. I found out by many sources that cancer cannot live in your body if your pH balance is over 7.1. So I thought I would share some of this with you. Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline body, which is pH over 7.1. Keep your pH balance over 7.1 by eating these alkaline foods. Of course, the ultimate goal is balance. Eating too many alkalizing foods can lead to its ...

They compared diagnoses for women ages 21 to 25 who had cervical cancer with those for women ages 26 to 34, before and after the health law provision (OBAMACARE) began ...
