I was wondering how many women out there have gone or had ovarian cancer? My grandmother died last year on 9/11 after battling with it for over 8 years. She was diagnosed at age 60-65 somewhere areound there. My mom was diagnosed at age 50. My mom has recovered and cancer hasn't come back, but anything can happen.

I am nervous for myself that I might get it at an earlier age. I go to the docotor and such and have been working out and trying to keep my healthy eating and just staying active. I am only 27 but I do worry about it. Both of my aunts have already had a hysterectomy.

Any thoughts?
