How does the healthcare experience you had compare that with that of soldiers coming home today?

That's great to hear. Most of my impression of Vietnam veterans comes from two places: my own brief experience working at a VA inpatient psychiatric ward, and interactions with homeless vets (some of whom are certainly "vets") in major cities. I hope we're doing better for this generation.

So, I disagree with this. It is definitely true that early detection is unrealistic for ovarian cancer at this point except by coincidence, but lack of awareness contributes to ongoing disease even at later stages. Awareness among physicians and patients as to late stage symptoms and when they should be referring patients with vague symptoms to gynecologists can and should be improved.
