I was diagnosed with overian cysts about 15 years ago, after having some pain during sex. It seemed to be a fairly big deal, although I don't recall being told I was high risk for cancer. But guess what? I did nothing and they apparently just went away on their own. I haven't really had a problem since.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, one of my co-workers found out she had advanced ovarian cancer earlier this year. She had to have surgery and they weren't able to get all of it because it had spread throughout her abdomen, into her fatty tissues, etc. She refused to accept it as a death sentence, although she did her best to prepare if it was going to be. She is over 50 and did not have a very good prognosis at all. But guess what? She just finished a course of chemotherapy and is currently disease-free!
