Hi folks,

I guess I'm just posting here to vocalise my worries about my health.

I am really worried about ovarian cancer (sorry I titled this post wrong!), all my symptoms seem to add up.

I feel stupid because I'd fobbed off my symptoms until Sunday when I had unusual bleeding in my pants, and the day before I'd found a few black bits in the shower that looked like tissue.

For a long time now I think I've had issues regulating my body temperature, particularly when in bed at night, I seem to get very hot and my partner has been mentioning it to me for the past year or so.

I've also got what feels like sciatica, a pain in my back and my bum which I've probably had for around a year. Also feel pain in my hip.

Intermittently I get pelvic pain on the right side where there is the sciatica.

I've also developed acid reflux and I'm burping when I eat and drink.

I'm 31 and so I fobbed off these symptoms but the incident at the weekend has really got me panicked.

I also have a small lump on my neck which I saw the doctor about in February. They said it was likely benign and they weren't concerned about it. So I'm terrified I have cancer that has spread.

I know I shouldn't use doctor Google but I have built a picture in my mind of how all these things interlink.

Ovarian / breast cancer also run in my family.

I am going for a pelvic examination at the doctor's on Thursday but I'm really struggling not to worry.

Thanks so much for listening and hope you are all ok,

Rose
