I'm a 52 year old woman. I had an endometrial ablation (procedure to lighten or stop heavy periods) 18 months ago. Ive been fit and healthy since. In February this year I had a period like pain which lasted half an hour, the same in April at the same time if the month and the same in may but this time the pain niggled for couple days

I went to gp and she has referred me for an ultrasound which is happening on wednesday. I had blood tests last week and the gp rang and said they were all fine apart from the ca125 which was raised, it us 120. I am now beside myself thinking it's ovarian cancer.

I am currently nursing my husband who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in march.  It's such a shock thinking we could both have it within 3 months of each other

Any words of encouragement would help.thanks x
