Ohio, Cancer can strike anyone, including children. This
condition is experienced by Natalie Cosman, but thanks to early
detection and treatment is right now he could feel happy because
recovered from ovarian cancer.
Natalie was initially complained of stomach pains are chronic. Doctors
who examined the estimates he is exposed to virus infection or due to a
buildup of gas, until finally one day Natalie really felt his pain and
his parents immediately brought her to the hospital.
Doctors
suspected he had appendicitis, however when the doctor did an
ULTRASOUND examination result turned out to be very surprising. Doctors
found a cyst on the ovary of 7 cm right and the results of the biopsy
shows that Natalie was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage II.
"I
was very surprised with the results of the diagnosis, especially by
those types of ovarian cancer," said her mother Melinda, as quoted from
Cosman Foxnews, Saturday (15/9/2012).
In
the case of this, doctor pun Natalie should lift the ovary and
fallopian tube top-right, and he was prescribed chemotherapy that began
soon after he took up operations. This is done to prevent the spread of cancer cells.
This
condition should spend her days making Natalie at the school, as well
as chemotherapy does make her hair falling out, should be in hospital
until some time and lost childhood.
"Despite being sick, but he''s still smiling when having to go through all the things that make it should lose his childhood. He was determined to keep the spirit, "said the mother.
The
struggle carried out by Natalie was not in vain, because he was doing
the test results ranging from once a month to once every 3 months showed
no signs of the cancer returning.
Generally
very rare ovarian cancer experienced by young girls and women who have
undergone menopause, if ever there are usually have excellent healing
rate.
"Ovarian cancer can indeed turn off, but we have found that certain medicines are very effective to cure it. A
combination of surgery and chemotherapy can deliver results 95 percent
relief on young girls, "said Dr. Robert DeBernardo, Gynecology Oncology
physicians of the UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio.
Despite
Dr. DeBernardo reveals keep fertility is a major concern for the
doctor, because with raised 1 ovary also reduce the fertility rate of
about 10-15 percent.
"These
girls are still able to have children in the future, but maybe a bit
more difficult to get pregnant," says Dr. DeBernardo.
Although in the case of Natalie reveals it early and treatable, but many women who are not as fortunate as Natalie. Unlike
other young girls, older women generally develop ovarian cancer that
sub-types is much more difficult to detect and treat so his death rate
is much higher.
"There
is no easy way to check for ovarian cancer as breast cancer who have
early detection mammogram, so screening tests are sometimes unable to
detect it," she said.
Dr.
DeBernardo speak symptoms appeared very common like stomach pain,
nausea, vomiting or abdominal bloating that sometimes unconscious
patients, because that''s the majority of patients can be terdetksi on
stage III or IV.
