Anxiety or ovarian cancer? Please help

[turrquoisepyjamas]

For the last few weeks, I've had strange abdominal pain that comes and goes. My appetite is reduced. I'm bloated and uncomfortable.

My mum has ovarian cancer so it keeps going around in my head that these are very similar to symptoms of ovarian cancer. And early detection is so important.

I'm badly chronically stressed out though due to my mum being so ill and I have several health problems of my own that are really draining (though nothing to do with stomach ache, I've never experienced so much stomach pain before) as well as other stuff going on, so wondering if likely to just be physical manifestation of anxiety?

How do I explain my concerns about the worst case scenario to my gp while acknowledging it could just be anxiety?

I just want to forget about it tbh but have the small niggling "what if" at the back of my brain so feel I need to get myself checked out.

I think the best thing you can do is get checked out for your own peace of mind. The fact your mum has it will heighten the possibly few symptoms you have into something much bigger. I hope that it is nothing, though anxiety isn't nothing, mine caused me to have a panic attack when I thought I was having a heart attack, but it's not cancer

I think you go and say to doctor exactly what you've said here
I hope you get a doctor who will take you seriously!
