Does my mom have ovarian cancer??!

[JonRosen]

My mom got diagnosed with a herniated disk couple days ago (I think it was L2 or something, not entirely sure). She says she also has pelvic pain, menstrual changes (heavier bleeding), and fatigue.

Could this be a possibility of ovarian cancer??! I am very worried for her :(

And can the herniated disk cause pelvic pain?

Unless she has the BRCA mutation Breast cancer does not go to the lower body.They are two separate cancers and she still only has a 1.4% of ovarian cancer in her lifetime.

Is it of more concern that she had breast cancer couple years back?

I have no clue what is up with your mother. Unless she has the BRCA mutation which is cancer gene she only has a lifetime chance of ovarian cancer of 1.4%. If she is concerned about ovarian cancer she would have to have a vaginal ultrasound. A GP or a gynecologist can order one. I would go to a gynecologist with the bleeding in case it is something else.
