Since there is ovary cancer in your family, it will help to get investigated in detail. Please visit a cancer unit of a nearby hospital in your place and request for a complete cancer screening check with special emphasis on cancer ovary. Cancer screening includes basic investigations like blood tests, ultrasound examination abdomen and pelvis, mammography if required and a general check of head and neck and gynecological organs in females. For ovary cancer, it will help to get a detailed ultrasound scan of pelvis including a transvaginal scan which will help evaluate the pelvis in detail. You might also get your blood tested for ovary tumor markers and if found high go for more detailed tests to evaluate for ovary cancer. Please do not worry. </s>
