Hi
I am worried I have all the symptoms of ovarian cancer?!
Going back more than a year now I have been having a lot of digestive issues...either constipation or running to loo umpteen times a day. I actually ended up having to have a haemmaroidectomy in dec last year and am still awaiting a colonoscooy as I still bleed most days. All on hold due to covid. I have had countless urine infections resulting in being sent for a cytoscopy which only showed a very inflamed bladder but nothing else untoward. My periods have been erratic...missing months completely going on to day 65+ then only bleeding for a day but I have the constant feeling in the pelvic area of either being on my period or having a urine infection often with breast pain too. At times the pain travels round my back and down my legs. I am 47 so a lot is being put down to either peri menopausal IBS or stress. I did have a CA125 test done a few weeks ago which they have stated is normal but dont know the actual level. On a pelvic and internal examination I had a lot of discomfort and altho the gp said there seemed to be no obvious lumps or mases there was a thiickening felt on the rhs. I am now awaiting an ultrasound scan and referral to gynae. My mother had a full hysterectomy at age 43 due to uterine cancer..not sure of all the details as she sadly passed away age 61 of endocrine cancer.
I feel perhaps with a normal CA125 i could be worrying for nothing but have also read it doesnt always show up on bloods.
Any advice welcome while I await my scan appt xx
