Hi All,

First let me introduce myself, my name is Alex and I suffer from health anxiety and I am worried sick about my Wife.

First of all, she had some light spotting a few weeks back - thought she had started her period but then it just stopped - put it down to once of those things. Then a few days later she was pulling herself in on the breakfast bar stool and experienced a horrific pain that, in her words, floored her. The pain was in her left pelvic region, but weirdly the pain comes when she moves a certain way, leans back etc, basically when it is stretched I guess. Then a few days later came the bloating. Although 4/5 days later her period arrived and the bloating subsided (basically I put the bloating down to the period). The pain continued for a day or so and then went totally for around a week. Fast forward to two days ago, the pain just suddenly came back again, exactly the same as before, stabbing/splitting pain with movement - no bloating this time. Anyway she is at a Gynecologist appointment tomorrow, she went to the GP as soon as she first had the pain, we was concerned due to the light spotting that she had a few days prior. other than that I would have put it down to a muscle! anyway, due to my health anxiety I have probably spent the last two days going over google (sorry, I know I shouldn't) and I am petrified she may have Ovarian Cancer. I should also mention that she has had bleeding after sex for the last 18 months, but this was addressed by GP and had swabs and smear done - all came back clear, thankfully. She has had two kids, and is 26 years old. 

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Alex
