Hi all, 

Im confued, numb, angry and i not sure what to say.

I went on the holiday of a lifetime.  2 days in I was in hospital with severe stomach pain.  After blood tests. Ultrasounds external and internal,  a CT scan etc.  I was toldvinhad fluid on the right and a mass on my left pelvis area.   As my liver was normal the only other diagnosis was ovarian cancer.  I was advised to see a Gynaecologist who did a CA125 test which came back with raised levels.  She told me to return tonthe UK straight away and see a doctor.  I returned on Friday and have been to A &E.  They did all the preliminary tests and confirmed what the Gynaecologist said.  I went to my GP this morning who has now referred me to a cancer clinic.  I should hear in 2 weeks.  Upntill now I've been calm, been supported but now what? What comes next? Can someone advise me please.  Thank you. 

  • Hi

    Your referral to the hospital is usually fast tracked so you should be seeing someone about what treatment plan they intend to do for you, unfortunately we all have periods where we have to wait.

    Its hard but try and stay calm 

    Take care pam x

  • Hello - I am, so sorry about what you are going through at the moment.  I cannot imagine the shock of it all - especially being away on holiday.    I think Noggins is so right - the waiting is the hardest but essential part of all of this.    The positive thing is - there are a host of experts in their field waiting to support you and help you navigate - whatever this may be.    Its a horrid couple of weeks wait but once you've had the scan - they will be able to see what it is they are dealing with.
