  • Morgan Bellock from Chicago had dreams of having a family and decided to freeze her eggs. In the process, her doctor made a shocking discovery: aggressive ovarian cancer. Bellock opens up to TODAY about her ordeal. "To say it was a shock would be an understatement. Prior to that day I had no experience with cancer," she says.

    I was diagnosed on my 50th birthday with stage 3C ovarian cancer in 2015 and again in 2018 . By the grace of God I’m here and very very thankful

    I had a similar path as Morgan to my diagnosis. Thank you for sharing her story and explaining so well how this disease often goes undetected.

    Its not only genetics behind getting cancer. Environmental toxins also can give you ovarian cancer.

    I had stage 1 ovarian cancer last year. I also had a very big cyst on my right ovary. I was 54 years old when they found my ovarian cancer.

    I found out I had a 6cm unidentified “mass” on my right ovary when I went in for a pregnancy ultrasound. Had my right ovary removed because of it, greatful it was a dermoid cyst-non cancerous but the fear and worry they lead me down was horrific.

      I heard ovarian cancer is very hard to detect I learned this from Gilda Radner’s journey plus I am still a huge fan of Gilda and I read her book this lady was funny even though she was scared to death And it is a huge cause for worry Breast ovarian cancer and uterine cancers are the big killers for women 17 years ago I had my uterus removed because of uterine hyperplasia thank God I am able to keep my ovaries

      @@khanbibi I had to have my ovary removed because a dermoid cyst was suffercating my ovary wraped around it. But thank god the body doesn’t know the difference when 1 ovary is gone since it’s like a generator the remaining ovary takes over I still ovulate monthly and doc said we only need 1/3 of a single ovary to have the hormones we ever need and still can have babies.
