Dr wants repeat ultrasound

Hello. I'm scared I have Ovarian cancer especially now....... I am 41. Mummy to 3 children youngest being 3. For a year or so I have been having left-sided pain in my ovary area and in the last 3-4mths I have been constantly bloated, lower backache, very gassy, indestion. Had CA125 which came back normal. ESR high at 18. Had U/S yesterday where results have been received at GP surgery. They haven't told me anything other than I need to have a re-scan. I'm thinking really dark things at the moment and off my mind with worry. Obviously something is there...

Has a tone had similar? Please help me! Thanks. X

  • Hello Jen79, 

    I just wanted to welcome you to our forum. I hope you won't have to wait too long for this repeat ultrasound. I can imagine it must be a very stressful time for you while waiting to find out more. It's reassuring though that your CA125 came back normal.

    I know it is really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do to avoid thinking too much about this is to keep busy and distracted if you can and avoid looking things up online. I can imagine it is hard for you to do this at the moment but it will help you feel a little less anxious. 

    I hope you will also hear from others here who have been through all this before and that they will be along soon to share their story with you. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you that everything turns out fine. 

    Best wishes,
