Hi all, I’m a 32 year old woman (5 months post partum with my first child) and have been very scared about the possibility of having ovarian cancer. I admittedly do suffer with health anxiety and have ‘diagnosed’ myself with many illnesses and diseases in the past, causing me months of stress and worry. This has magnified since becoming a mother. I have been suffering with bloating daily for around a month now, since my last period. It varies in degree and is definitely worse around the time of ovulation but continues right up until my period arrives two weeks later. I’d say I literally have 3 days a month where I feel less bloated. When I’m eating, I feel full off the smallest amount and have a discomfort below my rib cage but not a pain, more of a fullness sensation. My grandmother passed with ovarian cancer. I have had a ca125 blood test and an external ultrasound scan, both of which came back normal. Should this be enough to reassure me despite my symptoms persisting? I also have a persistent swollen pre auricular lymph node (in front of my left ear). I plan to go back to my GP but I’m just wondering how likely it is that I may still have ovarian cancer given these normal results. The scanner didn’t carry out a trans vaginal because she said said she’d only need to do that if she saw anything untoward when scanning externally on my stomach, and she didn’t. Thanks in advance for reading such a long post! I am terrified of leaving my baby behind :’(
