My sysmptoms were that of Ovarian Cancer. Upon surgery a tumor was found in the uterus. Having had a lifetime of issues with my uterus and fertility issues, things not feeling quite right or workong right were 'normal' for me. 20 years prior to my cancer diagnosis I was diagnosed with Intra Uterine Synechea (Ashermans Syndrome. This is where the lining of my uterus was covered in adhesions (scar tissue) and would not shed. This is usually caused by trauma to the uterus such as multiple miscarrages or abortions, none of which I had ever had. I had several D&C's and Operative Hysteroscopies to cut away at the adhesions over the course of several years. My gyn/oncologist could not say if the medical history or three years of fertility treatments did or didn't play a role in my cancers.
