    I am not too familiar with ovarian cancer or it's symptoms, but I don't know how you could avoid a doctor's visit if you are experiencing symptoms of ovarian cancer. Maybe a women's free clinic or reduced fees are available in your area? Contact your local chapter of the Cancer Society to see if they have any resources for you for screening. I do know ovarian is sometimes advanced when the symptoms do present themselves, so waiting is not a good idea. Hope this helps!
