Could be waiting months for ultrasound

Hi there

I recently posted how distressed I was with my mums symptoms (lost 18lbs in 7 months, lower pelvic pain, bloating all on and off for the last few months)  and after a doctors appointment she has been referred to get a transvaginal ultrasound but not as urgent so could be months away. It is intensely worrying as the doctor believes the pain is coming from the ovary and we can't understand why it is not being treated as more urgent.

My mum was feeling extra  uncomfortable on the weekend so we went into boots and bought some Buscopan. She's been taking that since and says the pain is not there as much now and the bloating has gone down. 
 

is this a good sign? If she had ovarian cancer would the pain and bloating still have persisted with the Buscopan? I know this is quite vague but in my anxiety ridden head I'm convinced I'm loosing my mum and trying to grab onto any straws I can to have some other possibilities.

kind regards Nina

  • Hi an update:

     

    after much persuading I convinced my mum to talk to her doctor again. She went in and had an internal exam (they didn't find any lumps or bumps) and she asked to get the ca125 which they have booked her for Thursday. They also said her pelvic floor is low/dropped so prescribed her Estradiol tablets. Could a dropped pelvic floor possibly cause some of her symptoms? Everything seems a bit vague.

    thanks Nina xx
