Hi all, I have joined this group to try get advice and understand other peoples experiences as I am currently waiting for test results and am almost convinced they are going to come back showing Ovarian cancer...…again....
My history- 10 years ago I had my right ovary removed and at the time was told it was pre-cancerous so I had the ovary and tube removed. My CA-125 was normal at this time and every year since I have still had scans done- last appointment was March/April time 2018. About 3 years ago my consultant changed and I was called in to meet the new consultant- and he said 'so you've had stage 1 ovarian cancer....' - I said have I????? I was honestly never told this - was always told it was pre-cancerous (but now think that was due to the incompetence of the original consultant). Anyhow- it didn't change anything as I was 10 years on and nothing had changed.
3 years ago I started with a bowel disorder so get regular cramping, bloating, diarrhoea & constipation...…..this is now all normal for me- I am worried I have ignored symptoms and just assumed they are my bowel disorder!. Not really noticed any changes until the last 10 days. 2 days before Christmas- I started with left sided ovarian pain- only mild but defo there. Now, I am in constant abdominal and pelvic pain, constantly bloated and feel awful. Today I have gone dizzy a couple of times and have no appetite. I saw the doctor on Thursday and she has done a load of blood tests including CA125 (still waiting for results) and I am waiting for appointment for an ultrasound scan but I am panicking. When I saw the doctor I felt well in myself, just had a little niggly pain, now I feel shocking, I feel like its getting worse so quickly and I am starting to panic that things are getting worse very quickly.
I am really starting to panic- how quickly did symptoms progress for people? can things move this quickly? The not knowing is the worst thing in the world- if I feel this bad tomorrow I might even be ringing the OOH doctor :(
Hope you are all doing ok x x x
Thank you for your reply and hope you are doing ok... the not knowing and panic is the worst!!! At the moment I haven’t told anyone in my family what’s going on or what I suspect all they know is that I really feel unwell, over the last 48 hours I have gone from feeling well to feeling like utter crap with bloating feeling sick and just generally shit! Trying to wait until tomorrow to ring the GP but not sure if I should be ringing the emergency doctor or not..... don’t think they would do anything anyhow so don’t see the point 
hope you get good news from the hospital x
