Worried

Hi, reading all the posts puts my mind at ease but deep down still worried.

I went to the doctors as I was struggling with my breathing, felt like I wasnt getting enough air in my lungs and got breathless easy. Did blood tests and said I was anemic. I took folic acid and iron pills for a month and felt no better so contacted the doctors again.

Was sent for more bloods and ca125 came back abnormal at 49. He has fast tracked me for a scan and said he suspects ovarian cancer. The more I read the more I have the symptoms, swollen tummy  I can bleed twice a month, pain in my tummy, I get the poo's. Its so hard not to worry. I am 45 in September.
