Hi , I’m Jade I’m 32 and have been poorly for months and months , everyday I’m in pain with my stomach and pelvis , feeling and being sick , dizzy , weak and high pulse rate , in explained low moods , felt like I was going crazy due to the erratic mood swings Ive been having , my periods are 7weeks apart now , I’ve had two emergency visits to A&E and I’m not getting better but worse. Last week my GP ordered some bloods on the Tuesday and by the Thursday I was being told I’m suspected of having ovarian cancer as my bloods came back abnormal readings for my ovaries. I’m absolutely beside myself with worry because with how poorly I feel I’m worried I have it. I’ve only just had to deal with my mum having breast cancer last year and suspected bowel cancer to now face my own potential cancer diagnosis is leaving me feeling lost and the symptoms are just getting worse they’re disabling me so much and I’m already disabled which was also said to be what’s making me Ill hence why I’ve only recently had my ovaries tested thanks to a gp who doesn’t believe its down to my conditions and Disabilities , so I’m now in limbo waiting on the 2 week wait list. My partner keeps saying I’ll be fine but with how poorly I’m becoming and being I’m starting to highly doubt it. It’s such a lonely feeling and it’s like mental torture waiting for the day to come to find out what’s happening with my body that I know isn’t well at all.
