Hi,
Bit of a long one, just looking for some advice on whether anyone else has had any of these symptoms and think I should keep pushing my GP.
Basically I am 21 and have suffered with extremely agonising periods since I was 16, I was told at 17 by a children's doctor that I was still under that I have endometriosis but was to young to diagnose. I was in so much pain I kept pushing the nhs for a diagnosis as I felt it was all in my head untill last year when I turned 20 I was diagnosed with endometriosis/bladder endometriosis.
I am convinced I have ovarian cancer, I have every symptom and I know my own body and know something is not right. I started getting extreme ovarian cancer symptoms around 9 months ago and my specialist will not take me serious due to my age. She will not test me any further as I have had an endometriosis diagnosis and keeps putting my symptoms down to that although i know something else is wrong. My dad died at 36 from a rare pancreatic cancer and I am extremely worried that my age is the problem and the reason why she will not push for me to be examined. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on where to go from here? And if anyone has had a diagnosis of ovarian cancer along with endometriosis?
Any help would be amazing thank you xx
