The last 2 weeks have been hell, no symptoms at all until then, totally came out of the blue.Had a water infection and could not wee so had a catheter for 2 days, that was taken out and no more wee problem.
But then bloating so bad and indigestion, stomach looks 9 months pregnant, pain around belly button area.Had MRI scan privately and was told large mass on my ovary. Blood test result 240 for tumor markers.
Now waiting for fast track cancer team to contact me, I am so worried as I can't eat any thing due to the bloating and indigestion.Does any one know how long this takes?
So glad I found this group u all give me hope.
Hi and welcome to the Online Community although I am so sorry to hear about your ongoing challenges so let's hope your team contacts you soon
The New to Community is like our reception desk where you can be signpost to our various cancer support groups and other services.
I do see that you have already joined our supportive Cervical cancer, Ovarian cancer and Womb (uterus) cancer groups. These will be safe places to talk to others who may have a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
If you'd like to connect in with any of the groups click on the Green link I have created above. Then once the page opens you can then introduce yourself by putting up a ‘new post’ by clicking in the box near the top right with + New or + (Depending on the device you are using) and you are ready to go.
You could copy and paste the text from this post into your new post and as always you can reply to existing ‘Discussions’ by click [reply].
The Macmillan Support Line is open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00 or via Webchat and Email too. This service provides cancer information, practical information, emotional support, benefits/financial guidance or just a listening ear. You may also find our Cancer Nurse Team in our Ask an Expert section helpful but do allow a few working days for a reply.
Talking to people face to face when on a cancer journey (patient or family) can be very helpful but during these strange times it’s not that available but do check to see if any Local Macmillan Support in your area has opened up. Do also check out for a local Maggie's Centre in your area as these folks are amazing and provide support for all the family.
Always around if you need further help in navigating the community.
All the best ((hugs))
