Hello, I'm 42 and for the last few months I've been noticing that I have very little appetite and when I do eat I only manage a few mouthfuls and I'm full, so full that I have to undo my trousers. 

Then last week my husband mentioned that I'd not brought any tampons for a while and I looked back and I've not had a proper period since February, just a bit of spotting every now and then. (I use an app to track my periods and any symptoms).

I went to my GP yesterday and she's concerned that I may have ovarian cancer. I'm booked in for hormone and CA-125 bloods on Monday and the hospital called me today and I've an appointment for a scan on Saturday.

I have since looked at all of the symptoms and I have them all, some of them I didn't think about as I have many health issues and I kind of lumped them under the pre-existing problems but I now realise that these all started between march and June of this year as I keep a diary of my health for DWP purposes (lower back pain, extreme fatigue, needing to urinate more, pain in my pelvis, constipation/loose bowels).

I'm really scared.
