Molly, I don't know how one could get ovarian cancer if the ovaries are gone from the body.
If cancer were the eventual out come I would think that it might show up in a different place that is also estrogen sensitive such as in Breast Cancer.
Women who have had ovarian tumors have been known to show up with breast cancer after the ovarys have been removed.
I suppose that if there were any questionable tissue left behind from the surgery that it could cause problems too.
I really havent heard anything about the occurance of ovarian cancer with no ovaries but then, there's lots of stuff I've never heard of.
