I feel awful posting here as I don't know if I have cancer but I have all the symptoms severely painfully bloated (I look 8 months pregnant) awful period pains constantly had some bleeding (Some heavy and some spotting) over the last 6 weeks, so tired falling asleep 3-4 times a day and lower back pain which has gotten worse over the last 6 months, im unable to walk or stand for more than 10 minutes, I've had blood tests all clear and have a US scan on Sunday. I'm just so anxious and fed up, I can't function properly and I have 5 children. I have my husband but nobody to really talk to about my worries which is why I joined this chat, just looking for some advice and someone to talk to.

Sorry for the rant any advice would be appreciated

Hi Biscotti, and welcome to the group.

Please don’t feel bad about posting here - those of us who’ve had a diagnosis of OC fully understand and appreciate the anxieties of waiting for that diagnosis, and for a treatment plan we can get started on.

I really hope in your case that the diagnosis will be something other than cancer, and that once you get started on medication and/or other treatments, your symptoms will subside and you’ll feel a whole lot better.

It’s really tough on this journey - and we can make it even tougher on ourselves trying to be positive and strong for our loved ones all the time. So, please remember whatever you feel you need to be for YOU (angry, scared, upset) then you need to be that, and you’ll hopefully find your husband can be a great support if you let him know how to.

Hopefully others will join this chat soon with some words of wisdom, and please remember you’re not alone.

Love Bx
