Is Calcification Related To Cancer ?
I just had a sonogram which showed a shadow behind the left ovary. The doctor said it could be calcification. I will be going for a CTscan in 2weeks. My concern is that it s cancer. I m 55yr. old going through menopause. At 19 I had an ovarian cyst the size of a grapefruit. It went away after being placed on birth control pills. There is no history of ovarian cancer in my family.)

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
There is a shadow behind the ovary in ultra sound may not be due to cancer. As your doctor says it may be a calcification.
Unless seen in C.T.scan it is not possible to say what it is . Any how you are going to have it soon. Till that time make sure it is not cancer.
After C.T. scan your doctors will plan your treatment and every thing will be fine. don't worry.
In the mean while avoid taking spices. junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
