Cancer can be a scary word, but it's more treatable than ever.

Answer

Yes Your ovaries grow along with the rest of your body. In older women they don't grow, the cells replace themselves. Some cells die off and new ones have to take over. Cancer is when the cells don't reprodure right when they grow or replace themselves wrong.
