Ovarian cancer panic

[etonmess91]

Hi, just looking for advice.

I have some concerning symptoms including no period for 5 months now.

I've been waiting 2 months already for a scan and I chased the GO today when they told me the below.

The GP said if I was over 60 then they'd put my ultrasound through as a 2 week wait but due to me being only 27, they said they're booking it as a routine scan which is a 16 week wait.

How is this fair? Cancer doesn't discriminate and it can happen to anyone at any time.

I’m so glad it turned out to be pcos and not cancer and that you were able to go private rather than having the agony of waiting around waiting. Someone I know has ovarian tumours removed and they took over 2 months for the lab to look at them to decide whether they were cancerous or not and whether they would need further treatment, thankfully they didn’t! It’s awful the backlog and how slow things move if you aren’t private!

Hi ladies can I ask what scan u had please.??
