Hello, I’m new here and can’t stop worrying. I have persistent bloating, increasing abdo pain around my bladder/womb/ovary area, some weight loss and some loss of appetite/feeling full some evenings. Bloods were normal in May, CA125 5. An Ultrasound showed urinary retention but didn’t check repro organs. I’m awaiting CT scan results, as pain unexplained (originally diagnosed as UTI earlier this year). GP is unconcerned, as I’m young(ish), pre-menopause and CA125 normal. I’m hoping for answers with ct results but what I would like to know is whether anyone could almost feel a mass - like when bending over, when sitting or drawing my legs up? It feels like something is pressing into me when my abdo area is squashed? GP couldn’t feel any lumps externally.  It is getting worse each month, but GP unconcerned about cancer, I’m sure they must think I’m neurotic as they know I feel worried. Gut instinct says something feels wrong - I don’t know what to think anymore? Could it be a cyst? Has anyone else experienced constant pressing pain/discomfort when bending over? Tia

  • Hi  and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

    I can't help with experience of ovarian cancer symptoms but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list where it'll be mor easily seen.

    This is a link to Macmillan's information on ovarian cancer symptoms but hopefully your CT scan will come back with good news for you.
