Hi.
I haven’t been diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, but however am displaying a lot of symptoms. I don’t know who to turn to so I thought I would come here and see if maybe those who have been diagnosed have experienced the same things as myself. I have a very strong family history of cancer, and recently just lost my father to pancreatic cancer. I’ll list my symptoms down below:
Bleeding heavily and consistently since - 7th sept
Malaise
nausea (after eating)
Feeling full after eating - for example I just ate an egg and I feel extremely full up, I used to be able to eat like I was a bottomless pit
Fatigue
Right flank pain, lower back
Pelvic pain
Ovaries look slightly poly cystic
Burst ovarian cyst
Constipation
white blood cells in urine
Extreme bloating - even when not eating
I have been in and out of A&E and back and forth to the doctors and I keep being told I am fine and that I’m a young hormonal girl (I’m 18). I just feel like I’m being dismissed. I know there might be nothing wrong, but I feel dreadful every day and it’s just getting worse. I’ve had blood work done and they say that it is fine. I guess I just want to know if this has happened to anyone else in the community.
Thank you for reading

Hi percypig 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'm not a member of this group, so have no experience with the symptoms you have, but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet.
I've had a look at the information from Macmillan on ovarian cancer symptoms which you might find helpful to look at and compare to your own.
You said that
I don’t know who to turn to
but the answer to that is that your GP is always the first person to go to rather than A&E. You might also find it useful to chat through your symptoms with one of the specialist cancer nurses on the Macmillan Support Line. It's free to call them on 0808 808 0000 and they're available from 8am to 8pm every day of the week.
Wishing you all the best

That's good news that you have an appointment with a consultant gynaecologist as you'll then find out exactly what's going on percypig :)
Do come back and let everyone know how you get on
