Reassurance for ovary cancer signs and testing.

Hello, I'm looking for some advice or possible reassurance! I was diagnosed with pcos in February this year. The reason I had the scan is because i had alot of stomach pain, back ache, pelvic pressure and bloating. I've been to the doctors for a set of bloods everything was normal. Other then the vitamin D which was abnormal. I've been about 3 times due to this pain and discomfort I'm feeling daily. The lady today, kept saying I had symptoms of gastrointestinal/IBS. Until she felt my stomach. She said shell referral me for a scan and next week do a ca125 blood test. Since February I've been peeing plenty during the day. Needing to go at least every hour-1/2half. My pain is now radiating to both sides of the stomach. I am so bloated, I'm barley fitting into my jeans but I have lost around 2stone since February without any diets and exercise to lose weight.  As each day passing I'm losing my appetite that little bit more. I'm only 25 with children. I  so scared, I'm not sure if I'm over reacting or what.  I have no support from family, my mum thinks I'm just being dramatic for getting upset for thinking if or what I had something so horrendous.  I guess I'll know more in a week or 2 bit already its feeling like today has lasted forever.  Can anyone help me feel  a little at ease.  Thankyou xbox

 

  • Hi Amelia I'm really sorry to hear you're going through a tough time, Like yourself in a young mum of two although a bit older than you at 29, irs so horrible going through a health scare. In all fairness most of your symptoms are probably down to pcos and evdn if your ca 125 test comes back as raised I know that ovarian cysts can cause this too. It's reassuring that you've been diagnosed with PCOS and some of your weight loss coukd be caused by simply worrying that something is wrong. 
    you're doing the right thing by getting all your investigations done and hopefully they'll put your mind at ease x

  • Thankyou so much for replying. These are exactly what I needed to hear right now. The doctor scared me to death when she said none of these would match pcos! I really hope everything is just a cyst and I am bit of a worrier.  X
