Not asking for me but for a friend. she is 47. had bloating with some pain on and off and constipation for a good few months but has always had IBS so this is not particularly unusual for her. went to GP who was unconcerned. told her that as she'd had a full blood count done recently any cancer markers would show up. friend is worried about ovarian cancer.
is what the GP said true? I was under the impression it was a specific test to look for the ca125 protein.
