I’m worried I have ovarian cancer

Hi

Please could someone give me some advice. I'm 49 and 3 years ago I had a womb ablation so I have no periods anymore. 
3 weeks ago I started with an acid reflux after certain food so went to the doctor as felt bloated. Straight away the doctor said I needed testing for Ovarian cancer! It totally blew me away. Since then I've waited a week. Not slept or felt like eating and symptoms seems to be worse. My appointment for an untradound is next Tuesday. So another week of no sleep! 
Am I making it all worse I'm constantly panicking about it. 

  • Hello KH49,

    Panicing doesn't help the situation as your doctor just wants to test you to find out why you have these symptoms. I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I'd suggest you write any thoughts and questions down ahead of your appointment on Tuesday, which you can take with you. This might help take some of these worries out of your mind so you can sleep.

    I hope this helps,
