Hi all, I have been having ovarian cancer symptoms but apart from the common ones of bloating, feeling full, needing to pee etc, I have bad burning pains in my stomach, back and shoulders, has anyone had this at all? I'm afraid my symptoms are getting progressively worse and I haven't even been diagnosed yet ( internal ultrasound this Thursday) .
I would be grateful for any shared experiences.
Thank you
Hi liveinthe moment,
Ive not had those symptoms, I had womb cancer. I don't remember anyone else in the group saying that they had them either, particularly the shoulder pain, I've been around the site for a while.
Have you had a laparoscopy? Sometimes the air they pump into you for that can cause pain at your shoulders back and stomach?
I know that waiting on a diagnosis is scary, but try and take one step at a time, lots of people pass through the site and get the all clear.
good luck for Thursday and lots of love
