Im 45 i have pain in lower belly also bloated also tired and also indigestion and constipation and feel sick. I have these symptoms every day and night had them for a month now. Its very hard to get an appointment at my doctors but i will try and see if they will see me. Im so frightened it might be and if im early with symptoms how quick will my gp get the tests done. I do not want to wait as i know clearly it does kill us and im besides myself. It was the story on diane oxberry that made relise i might have with the symptoms but not 100 percent sure. My auntie had womb cancer years ago and still free from cancer today. My nanna had tummy problems in april 2016 and died in july 2016 but my family will not tell me what her belly problem was. So im in the dark with that. Thankyou for reading my thread. Jo.

    Hi Jo, I'm so sorry that you are in this position.  Explain your symptoms and hopefully you should get a quick appointment.  I only had a bloated tummy and my lady GP arranged a blood test that same day, which virtually confirmed it.  As I had to be drained (which was OK) I was admitted within a week and scans did confirm it.  I started chemo within a month and have had no. 3, which have been OK.  So far the treatment is going well.  Try and be positive.  Love Jan.

    Hi Jo, definitely get an appointment with your gp. Explain your concerns and insist on a ultrasound and blood test. 

    My symptoms were a period like pain for a few weeks and a heavy watery discharge. Within a week of my gp appointment I had an ultrasound, a week after was at the hospital seeing the gynae oncology consultant. 6 weeks from the ultrasound result I was in hospital having a full hysterectomy, it was that quick. Mine was stage 2, so caught it early. 

    I hope yours turns out to be just something easy to sort. 

    Much love,  Ann xx
