You sound very: fearful. I remember studying ovarian cancer in medical school. Although my health was perfect - I got all worried about whether I had ovarian cancer (yes, that was a bit neurotic). Are you searching for possible symptoms due to a fear you are carrying? If you have significant bonafide symptoms that would suggest a gynecologic problem then see your physician for complete eval. If you are a worrier

YEs: Yes cancer, any tyle will cause loss of appetite but so will a multitude of other ailments. If you have loss of appetite it would be best to see your doctor so appropriate testing can be performed after an exam to determine the cause

Maybe: Yes, loss of appetite can be a sign of cancer, but at your age cancer would be low on the differential. You need to see your PCP.
