Hi All .
I have been feeling unwell so went for blood tests from my doctor.
My CA125 tests came back 540 which indicates overian cancer... im due to have my ultrasound scan on 10th September..
I'm so frightened, I feel numb and spaced out like I'm floating.. I cant concentrate on anything and not doing well at work, all I want to do is curl up in bed ..im having panic attacks and as you may see by the time of this post I cant sleep.. I cant eat ..
My heart goes out to everyone on this group as I know we are in the same boat and living this nightmare .
Love to everyone x
