We really had no cancer in the family. My 74 year old mother was very active, and generally in good health, always keeping up with her medical appts and screenings. In late January she complained of shortness of breath, like something was sitting on her chest. Very long story short, it turned out to be stage 4 ovarian cancer -- the fluid from her belly area was causing the breathing problems. Mom was gone March 6. This is a very scary disease. Listen to your body. Push your doctors.
