I’m scared about ovarian cancer

Hi there, 

 

my name is Katie and recently I have really been struggling with pain in the right side of my abdomen, I am an 18 year old girl who is slightly overweight. I also have an under reactive thyroid. When I feel my abdomen it feels hard and asif there are round balls there, I have started to swell up in the effected area also, I have been increasingly going to the toilet around 10-15 times a day, pain during and after sex ( sorry if tmi) I have been loosing weight even though not trying, I feel very fatigued and poorly all the time, I am feeling full quicker and my appetite is not as much as it used to be. I become extremely bloated very easily also this could be even after eating some fruit. My bowel movements have also drastically changed.I have been cleared for any signs of IBS. I have been to the doctors and they have requested I aught to have an emergency 2 week ultrasound which has worried me as people usually say waiting times are 6-8 weeks. Does anyone know why he could have requested it to be an emergency?

 

I feel on the other hand as I may be stressing myself out, over feeling my stomach and imagining there's something there, after all I don't know what I'm feeling for, I struggle with health anxiety and I don't know what to do. Please help x
