I went to the Drs today and after talking about my symptoms, she did a pelvic examination and is sending me for a blood test (ovarian cancer). Now as I said in the title, it is very early and there is absolutely nothing but suspicion at the moment but I feel totally overwhelmed. I guess (like a lot of people) I am just worrying. I am 35 and I have 4 children at home so yeah, the worry feels immense at the moment. I haven't told anyone at home because to be honest, I don't really have anyone I can speak to about this. Part of me thinks I am overreacting? The other half is scared. Anyone else in this situation or have been?
