So for the last three weeks I have bad period pain and bloating. I am having the ca125 Blood test next week and also a doctors appointment also. I am so scared of ovarian cancer that I have got it. And have convinced myself I have it. The pain are like the second day of period. I have not lost my apatite etc.
Ho Ro12 welcome to the forum. I am sorry that you have not had a response as yet. Its always difficult for any of us on here to be speculative about what things could be as it could be absolutely anything. I can appreciate that you are worried however and have done exactly the right thing in seeing the GP and the GP will maybe undertake further test. That said bad period pain and bloating could be related to many many things other then Ovarian Cancer.
Hope the blood tests bring you some reassurance and please do come back and let us know how you get on.
Hi Ro12,
Sorry to hear you're going through this, I completely understand your fears as I've also been having tests for gynae cancer due to sudden heavy prolonged periods with period pain. Luckily my ca125 came back normal, but had a transvaginal ultrasound which showed a large ovarian cyst and thickening of my endometrium so now waiting for an urgent referral to gynae (I live in Portugal so in reality urgent means waiting 4 months). I hope you get some answers soon
