Thank you so much for blogging about this. I lost my 24 year old sister Brittany to ovarian cancer.
There is no test for ovarian cancer. The HPV vaccine is ONLY for cervical cancer. Pap Smears do not detect ovarian cancer only cervical.
My sister's ovarian cancer came from a mucinous tumor on her ovary. Many of us will have cysts, benign tumors, etc but Brittany's contained malignant cells and was 'borderline'. Two years later we lost her.
