Ovarian cancer fear ?

Hello again. I'm so sorry to post this , but I cannot in reality speak to anyone , I have however managed to contact a macmillan nurse who was very kind. I have without a doubt health anxiety issues that have never been diagnosed . I am severely anxious about having ovarian cancer. I am 62 , never had children and overweight , my mother died from breast cancer , I have no idea if I am brac1 or 2. I would like to know if anyone thinks that I could have ovarian cancer for 6 and a half years ?  I got a ca 125 test for a "pulsing ovary " that's the only way I could describe it at June 2015 this came back normal , I had the normal internal exams , no ultrasound was done but the dr couldn't feel anything abnormal  a few weeks later I felt  a pulling sensation in my pelvis the same side as the pulsating had been , at a family gathering but on waking up the next day the feeling had gone. Since then , every twinge , ache , pain etc in my pelvis , and if it occurs on the right side I've been scared it's cancer growing , but been so terrified I have never been back for testing or seen a doctor. Could I have ovarian cancer or would it have shown up before now . I have no abnormal bleeding , no early satiety, no problems going to the loo and no shortness of breath or bloating . I have however now found a lump inside my anus which I have self diagnosed as the ovaria cancer spreading to my backside . I am out of my mind with terror. Please help

  • Please see your doctor soon for help to be assessed for ovarian cysts ect. That's the best way to give you reassurance, l had a colonoscopy last Christmas that showed large ovarian cysts l am over 60 l went to the oncology gynaecology clinic and had ct, mri scans  and ultrasounds all showed the cysts were complex and not shrinking My surgeon said they could remove them which l proceeded with to give me peace of mind . I've had the operation and the biopsies were benign lm very relieved. My surgeon was great and removed my extensive adhesions which took hours. The support is there for you l hope your able to take their  advice soon.

    Take care look after yourself

  • Thank you susie , I will follow this up now , I'm just a complete weed but the mind anxiety is making me ill with worry. I'm very grateful.

  • I had pain on my left side that had been there for years l don't know if it was due to the overies or the adhesions, as my operation was only a few weeks ago l am still waiting for it all to settle down. My biopsies have come back as benign so it's been worth the extensive op everything was stuck down in adhesions from my previous surgery.

    I hope you have an appointment with gynaecology that can guide you to the best treatment

  • Hi Susie , thankyou once again for your kindness. I will definitely pursue this through the drs . I haven't had surgery , so no adhesion, but when I think it's sending stuff spiralling out of control. I'm just going to confess all to the medical profession and just have to address this with them , I will report Back when I have any info. Thanks again for your support
