Hello Everyone.
dec21/jan22 I started experiencing pain in my left side, an occasional little stabbing that was really catching me. Over the space of 3/4 weeks this then moved to an almost permanent aching in my back as well as the awful stabbing pain I was experiencing. The pain reminded me of cysts on my ovaries which I have had 3 times previously by this stage so I went to the GP. She enquired then, after examination, about any bloating, my urination habits, my appetite etc which when she probed I realised had all been off for some while in one way or another but I felt nothing linked any of them and put most of them down to getting a bit older.
gP has requested the CA125 blood test (I believe it is called) and I have a renal and ultra sound scan booked for tomorrow.
can anyone talk me through the process, it's been a month since I went to the GP and had the referral for scans made. I have spent the last 2/3 weeks in denial about the entire thing and the last few days in tears at the prospect that this might not be nothing.
