Huge swollen belly

What alerted me to my possible cancer was the increase in waist size and a protuding belly. 

I actually look around 6 months pregnant and I am so bloated. 

It's was on one of those days that I was looking in the mirror that I decided to lay back on my bed and see what was going on.

I did an examination and could feel this Oval enormous lump that was very mobile and could be moved from side to side.   It felt smooth and a bit like a pregnancy.

 Of course i was horrified 

Called GP for an emergency appt and she measured it at  8cm x 8cm

Since then and getting to the US around 5 days wait ,  it grew to 17.5 cm in diameter !

Now I realise that's a bit unlikely so it's probably just that measurement in US was more accurate 

However 14 day later it's even larger and looking  like a watermelon.

Has anyone else had a bloated huge belly with theirs ?

    I didn't have a lump like you but when I had my hysteroscopy and the nurse examined my tummy, she said she could feel that my womb was enlarged. I couldn't feel it myself but had a sort of tightness feeling. After I had the hysterectomy, I immediately noticed the difference. 

    I hope that things can get sorted for you soon.
