Question 1

ovarian cancer 3 c.found fingertip tumor in lung, assuming now its in stage4 but now has a fluidly mass in between stomach and liver, has it spread

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Most ovarian cancer is stage iii when diagnosed. Finding tumor between the stomach and liver is consistent with this.   Do not assume a lesion in the lung is metastatic cancer unless there is a biopsy to show this.  The lesion you describe could be a lot of things other than cancer.

Question 2

stage 4 ovarian cancer  now has a fluid mass between stomach and liver does this mean it has spread to liver?

Accepted Answer

Stage 4 Cancer: Not necessarily, but it does suggest at least inter abdominal spread, if not metastatic disease to the liver. An imaging study of the liver and abdomen can tell where it has spread.

Question 3

what does a stomach swollen from ovarian cancer look like?

Accepted Answer

Abdominal distention: It is the abdomen, not the stomach, that is swollen in some patients with advanced ovarian cancer. This is mainly due to accumulation of fluid (called ascites) within the abdomen. The fluid over time causes distention of the abdomen (just like what you would see in a pregnant women). The more the fluid accumulates, the more distanded the abdomen and patients may have discomfort and pain.

Question 4

my lower stomach feels bloated and full for days could it be ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Probably not.: At your age, the risk of ovarian cancer is very small. But, if for anything else, you should get checked out for your peace of mind. It may just be a gastrointestinal issue

Question 5

is there a way to tell if your stomach is just fat, or bloated from cancer?? i worry so much about ovarian cancer, can you tell me the first signs??

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: Bloating from ovarian cancer would not be associated with increase in weight, unless it is due accumulation of water from ovarian cancer involving the abdominal cavity. If your BMI is above, it is likely to be fat. If you have any doubt, see your doctor.
Wish you good health!

Question 6

stomach feels tight and bloated but dosent look bloated worried about ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

Proabably not: Most ovarian cancers don't reach enormous sizes to allow bloating or palpation.  They metastasize readily and to a site of TGF-B, that is the omentum which produces a factor allowing ascetic fluid to fill the abdomen.  At that time on palpation, the bloating is not from gas but from fluid distention.  A qualified physician can tell on palpation or with somography if ovarian Ca is there.

Question 7

would ovarian cancer symptoms come out of nowhere and come and go im very anxious worried about my gassy stomach and other things?

Accepted Answer

: Ovarian cancer symptoms are very nonspecific and variable and tend not to appear until late in the disease. With your reported symptoms it is appropriate to rule that out, which can be readily accomplished with a visit to your gynecologist and a transvaginal ultrasound exam.

Question 8

i am 34 years old and i have the symptoms of ovarian cancer except for bloating, my stomach is flat and i feel no lumps. do i have ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

See below: If you are worried about this get a ct scan of the abdomen and it will tell you for certain.

Question 9

it is common for ovarian cancer spreading to breast and lung?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Ovarian cancer encompasses a number of different types of malignancies.  Some can and do spread to the lung as well as locally within the abdomen as well as to the brain; others do not do so or only rarely.  Still others don't spread to the breast but are associated with breast cancer. Best to speak to your health care provider in order to have a detailed conversation.

Question 10

i've been getting stomach aches for no reason, that last a while.  could it be ovarian cancer?

Accepted Answer

No: Unless ovarian cancer is associated with metastatic disease to bowel causing intermittent intestinal obstruction, this lesion is usually painless.  The tumor when it metastasizes goes to omentum and produces ascites where the belly first fills with fluid.  Stomach aches are usually associated with gastric problems and may be controlled with antacids or  acid inhibitors like Prilosec.
