That’s good. Ovarian cancer sucks even more than breast cancer, IMO, because it so often goes undetected until a very late stage. Do they recommend that test for all women after a certain age, or only if you have a family history?

It’s what my mom died from.
And you are correct, it often goes undetected until late, and because the symptoms are similar to other things - her doctor was treating her for acid reflux for at least 9 months prior to her diagnosis. By the time they made the diagnosis, she was 3 weeks away from death. It was just too late.
