Hi all I'm hoping for some advice and to put my mind at rest a bit. Up until last year I was a size 8 and over the past 8 months I have put weight on all over and gone to a 12/14, the last 3 months I have had lots of bloating, pain right from bottom of stomach up to under breasts, and around my sides. Sometimes its a sickly ache, other times its stabbing pains. Going toilet regularly and although its slightly loose its fine. Going for wee a little more than usual but no pain. Periods still normal and no extra pain. But the bloating and stabbing pains have worried me along with uncomfortable feeling after eating. In my head I feel its gassy and diet issues. But I thought I would speak to doctor as my mom had very similar symptoms and was diagnosed with peritoneal cancer ( i have had genetics test and it was negative) doctor didn't seem concerned but suggested blood tests and poo and wee samples. A few days he rang and said both samples were normal but blood tests showed elevated ca125 (i never asked for numbers as I was in shock) he suggested a emergency scan and said it pointed to my ovaries!!! I'm now in complete panic mood, my mom struggled desperately for 3 years and her passing was horrendous and really scarred me. My children have been through so much losing their nan and then grandad to a stroke I just can't imagine how I would break the news to them and how I would come. I had a lad with autism and a 13 year old girl. Do you think it could me something other than cancer?
