Ovarian Cancer???

Hi Guys, 

 

So I've had a blood test done because honestly I thought I was pregnant because I was majorly fatigued, cramping, not bleeding (period on a monthly basis) complete loss of appetite. It came back negative but my CA 125 had a level of 42. I'm 20 years old and I'm very healthy. I had my daughter 6 months ago, I was diagnosed with PCOS and IBS (on and off) I've had these symptoms for a while. What's your opinions? The doctor said to be it very much could be ovarian cancer and to do my research on CA -125...
 

im also struggling to get out of bed, my partner works throughout the week and I can't pick up my daughter most days. The pain is horrible... I spoke to the doctors ans they gave me Codine which really just makes me sleep. 
I want to go to the hospital because I know there's something not right and my scans tomorrow. But I can't bare with this now.. 

 

Thank you x

    Hi, I am really sorry to hear you're going through these horrible symptoms. It must be awful and worrying.

    I am in a similar situation in regards to symptoms but worry of a different type of cancer of the pancreas.

    I would honestly say if you don't feel right and the pain is unbearable, going to a and e won't hurt. They can check you over and make sure everything's okay. I really hope your scan goes okay tomorrow.

    I have been urgently referred for a ct scan so I have the dreaded 2 week wait and its terrifying. Especially when my symptoms worsen.

    Like I said don't be afraid to go to A and E if it's really bad. Your health comes first before anything.

    All the best and praying for you.
