Hi, I’m so upset, scared and emotional I can hardly cope. I have many symptoms of ovarian cancer. I’ve seen a GP and a nurse and had a full screening blood test and two urine tests (as UTI was suspected) I’ve never had a smear test due to embarrassment. The results of the blood test came back today and the nurse told me all my bloods were clear, nothing was showing in the markers for cancer. I said to her ‘Can I be happy again now?’ And she said yes. But… they want me to go for the abdominal ultrasound and the internal ultrasound and have already referred me. And I’ve read on the legit UK cancer sites that full blood screening is NOT reliable to detect ovarian cancer - only the ultrasound and biopsy is. I thought I was finally going to get a good nights sleep tonight… I won’t. Stress, stress stress and unbearable anxiety is how I’m living my life. I’ve made an appointment to see a Gynaecologist privately at the end of the week Just a nervous wreck right now… Why tell someone the blood test was clear when it’s not reliable.
