Very worried that I could have ovarian cancer

Hi everyone. I've been feeling very worried and was hoping for any advice anyone could offer, or even just a bit of understanding.

I went to my gp a few weeks before Christmas because of pelvic pain that had been going on for a week or so. Every single morning when I wake up I have a horrible burning pain in the same place on my right side. This eases once I'm up as moving around but comes back during the day, especially if I'm sitting down. It also spreads lower down and to my lower back too. This has been happening for around 4 or 5 weeks now. 
 

My GP referred me to a gynaecologist who didn't do anything except say that it won't be cancer because I had a clear smear in February, which I thought was an odd thing to say because ovarian cancer wouldn't be detected with a smear. He referred me for an ultrasound scan. 
 

I went back to my gp because I was so worried and he felt my tummy and said he couldn't feel anything but it sounded from where I was pointing to that it was something to do with my ovaries, maybe a cyst.


My appointment for my ultrasound is 23rd January which seems forever away. I'm getting really worried and I just wanted to know what is going on.

Ive also had breast pain and nausea, to the point where I thought I must be pregnant! But I'm definitely not.

I just feel very worried and the wait seems so long. I have had no other test or examinations except for the gp I saw recently feeling my tummy and doing a urine test (which was clear) 

Edited to add that I'm 30 years old in case that is relevant.

 

Thanks so much in advance for any replies

  • Hi Narla and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I noticed you made your post in reply to Freckles88. Unfortunately they haven't been on the forum since July 2021 so you I'm not sure you will hear back from them I'm afraid. Also, it seems this thread hasn't been that active since the beginning of the year so there's a chance you may not get a reply from anyone else on this discussion either.

    I really hope that won't be the case but if no-one does reply to you, it may be worth starting your own discussion about this instead.

    We know how scary this time can be Narla so we are here for you and wishing you all the best with your CT scan. We hope you won't have to wait too much longer and that the results bring good news when they come through.

    Kind regards,
