Ovarian cancer

Hi everyone.. 

i have a 15cm mass on my ovary. I'm in so much pain, and have most OC symptoms. 
my ca125 came back elevated.
I had a MRI, but they still don't know. 
I've convinced myself I have ovarian cancer.
I spend hours googling (I know I shouldn't but I can't help it :( ) 
I am so terrified I'm struggling to even function day to day. I am 29 and have a little girl who needs me. 
I can't stand this living in limbo, waiting and waiting, going over and over in my head what the doctors have said to me, picking apart their answers to all my questions. 
I can't eat or sleep from the worry. 
I just don't know what to do anymore...

  • It is so hard.  Do you know what the next stage after the MRI is?

    I am in the same period of limbo.  It is horrid and I almost think knowing would be easier than this wondering.  

    I am 44 with a 4 year old and imagine your thoughts are along the same lines as mine with the unimaginable thought of having to leave them without a mum.  But we are a million miles from that still and still in the land of hope I guess. 

    I had my CT scan a week last Friday and still waiting for the results of that and some other bloods they took.  The consultant explained that they were looking at 'young' person ovarian issues.  She has said that if the CT scan shows nothing or is inconclusive then she will do a laparoscopy to have a look.  My googling has told me that a lot of ovarain cancer is only diagnosed at this stage or from a biopsy?  Who knows but I feel reassured that whatever is going on they will find it.  Could you ask/push for that op? x
