Hi everyone, I feel slightly stupid for posting here, but I’m scaring myself stupid. I went to my GP on Thursday with some very vague symptoms. A little bloating (comes and goes), increase indigestion, feeling nauseas when I wake up in the mornings, a new pain in my right hip (around the bone). I also know that my nan and my great Nan both had ovarian cancer (diagnosed in 70s, I’m 37).
I was sent for a blood test and my CA125 came back at 36. I know, it’s one point above, but it obviously triggers the urgent response and I’m currently waiting for my scan appointment (should be soon)
im scaring myself stupid. I saw my Nan go through this so I think that’s not helping. I’m second guessing all my symptoms, convincing myself they are worse than they are. I’ve spent all morning feeling physically sick (most likely because I’m stressed and anxious) but convinced myself it’s also a sign.
guys I’m a mess. What is wrong with me? Why can’t I seem to keep calm and wait patiently? How did you get through this wait?
I’ve been put forward for some genetic testing too. I just feel so stressed it’s actually making me more ill!
