Worrying about having ovarian cancer.

Hello everyone, 

For over a year I have been experiencing sharp, cramping pains in my lower abdomen which come and go on a daily basis, followed with side back pain and bowel issues. I have been backwards and forwards from the doctor's over the past year and it seems that it is now being taken more seriously. Ive had 2 blood tests so far, my most recent one testing for cancerous cells and I am due for an ultrasound scan in a couple of weeks. Being a young lady (20) I am worried that I may have ovarian cancer and it has been planning on my mind. Can anyone share some experience with me? 

  • Hi, I’m 23 I’ve also had stomach cramps back pain and leg pain I was treated for a water infection last week but the pain hasn’t gone. When I went to the doctors today she took some swabs not a smear as I’m not old enough yet I’m also worried about the dreaded cancer word! It’s horrible waiting you always think what else could it be but always think the worst! Please keep me updated xx
