Downright
incredible!
Researchers at U. Arizona have devised something they call
a falloposcope – a device only 0.8 mm in diameter that can be inserted into a
woman’s fallopian tubes to detect the beginnings of cancer, As you know, many – maybe most – ovarian cancers
arise in the fallopian tubes, so this little gadget could prove to be an
important weapon against OVCA. Testing
still is underway, but preliminary signs are encouraging.
I continue
to be amazed at the skill and dedication of the onco-research community. God bless ‘em!

This is great news. Pre Linda's cancer, when I knew little about ovarian cancer, I didn't even know what besides the uterus was being removed when I had my hysterectomy. It was all about fibroid removal, not possible ovarian cancer in the future. My quick research seems to say that it depends on what side of 50 a woman is whether tubes and ovaries also get removed. Thanks, Myrl, for keeping me informed.
