Yeah. It isn't uteran cancer. It's ovarian cancer. Most of the time, doctors leave the ovaries (they produce your hormones and it is easier on your body). They take the uterus, for whatever reason, but usually the ovaries stay. It is entirely possible to get ovarian cancer.....

ovaries are not always removed during a hysterectomy. some women opt to keep them to keep from being thrown into the change or having to take hormones. if you still have ovaries you could still get ovarian cancer
