Ovarian cancer

Hi 

I'm 67 ... I've post menopausal.I had hysterectomy 

24yrs ago .. however one ovary was not removed 

gynaecologist said it was to help with the menopause.

persobaly I would of rather if had it removed !

well I've been having terrible lower back pain

bloating , IBS symptoms dreadful . Pain in my groin 

is so sharp I can't sit or drive ..,

nothing helps it !

I had a MRI of my lower back just last week 

Resulting in an accidental finding of A 

5cm swelling of my left ovary .... the one and only he left !!

ibe been referred for scan and had a CA125 taken

awaiting the result .

im

so anxious I've not slept ..  crying most of the time 

I've a Son with special needs .. I need to be fit to care for him .

please help me 

I'm convinced I've ovarian cancer .. 

with all the symptoms and the finding on the lower back MRI

 

 

 

 

  • Im so sorry your feeling like this, your right to be worried. Dont think twice about contacting gp again and again and again. When it comes to your health there is no back up - they could even do an urgent referral to gynaecology -  not sure? As im up in scotland and nhs is kind of separate to nhs england. 
     

    im not any better unfortunately, im worse than i was pre surgery.  Having a really uphill battle. I did have my ca125 done, once in dec when the nhs originally found it and once after i has been to private gyn (saw private one on a Saturday and my gp did my ca125 on the monday) both times they were 16 i think. 
     

    its so hard as you could literally drive yourself mad with worry , i know i am currently. It diesnt help that i am also going through complaints procedure etc

     

    the GP could even offer you some pain relief for the interim until they know whats going on? 
     

    sending you lots of positive thoughts , I completely understand how frightening this is xx
