Hello everyone,

I have symptoms of stomach/ovarian cancer. Been referred for gastroscopy. Doctor could feel something on my ovary but seemed less concerned about that. Gastroscopy is urgent referral, scan for ovary standard referral. This was on Friday and I have been tearful all weekend and can’t concentrate on anything. Dreading work today as am all over the place with worry but feel silly as nothing certain yet. Should I tell work? I wfh but am all over the place. Have only mentioned it to one friend so far.  Thank you

    Hi,

    Please do tell work. They can then be flexible with appointments ect. 

    It's awful waiting for tests and results I'm at the same stage. Try keep busy and to routine as much as possible.

    Unfortunately I can't offer anymore advice I have done a thread myself. Someone did say to me there is also helplines you can call and a good idea is to make a note of any questions.

    Wishing you all the best
