AB  - This  is  the  second  most  common  form  of  cancer  in  females,  with  most  developing  from  an  epithelial  tumor.  Most  ovarian  tumors  are  not  detected  until  they  are  in  an  advanced  stage  and  have  metastasized  as  they  produce  only  vague  and  nonspecific  symptoms.  Treatment  usually  involves  a  total  hysterectomy  and  lymphadendectomy  followed  with  chemotherapy.  Clients  who  participate  in  the  recommended  levels  of  physical  activities  experience  fewer  complications  related  to  the  treatment  of  ovarian  cancer.1  Clients  become  deconditioned  due  to  the  disease  process  and  treatment  programs  that  produce  persistent  fatigue  and  decreased  tolerance  to  physical  activities.  Many  clients  who  have  been  diagnosed  with  ovarian  cancer  are  older,  have  a  history  of  high  dietary  fat  intake,  and  lead  a  sedentary  lifestyle.2
