None. You cannot treat ovarian cancer with diet supplements.
Ovarian cancer does not produce specific symptoms that would clue doctors to this diagnosis. Most common symptoms include malaise, weakness, bloating, vague abdominal discomfort. There are no good blood markers that can diagnose ovarian cancer. Therefore, it is difficult to screen for ovarian cancer. By the time symptoms develop, quite often ovarian cancer can already be spread and metastasized.
the history is not when it started, the history is what it is and it is cancer of the ovaries.
There are quite a few websites regarding ovarian cancer. Here are just a few: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001891/ & http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/ovarian-cancer/DS00293
It is estimated that 140,000 women WORLDWIDE die each year from ovarian cancer.
I just recently had a friend who had both cervical and ovarian cancer. The strange thing was the ovarian cancer was one type of cancer in stage 2 and the cervical cancer was a totally different type of cancer in stage 1. She recovered fully from both.
