I'm going out of my mind with worry and feel ridiculous about it. About 3 weeks ago I went to the GP after having server abdominal, back and ovarian pain to the point that in the morning I could hardly get out of bed and was doubled over. I'd had mild/moderate pain for about 5/6/7 weeks previous but it escalated rapidly and lasted for about 8/9 says. I had also been bloated on a fairly constant basis. Dr did an external examination of my stomach area and refered me for a ultrasound scan. Last December i hada 5cm cyst but had gone by Feb. So I think her thoughts were this was the most likely issue. All sorts of things had crossed my mind while the pain was at its worst but as the pain had eased I relaxed.
Fast forward 2 weeks. My appointment for the scan should have been Friday coming. But my back pain has really flared up again to the extent i cannot get out of bed or get dressed! My stomach is more swollen and I can feel something out of place bulging which hurts. I have also started to get that wobbly feeling in my belly again that I got with the first cyst which reminded me of a small kicking baby. To add to that I've got a fever, mouth sores, flu symptons and generally feel awful. So I rang to see if there was a cancellation today and got a scan.
The way it works here is the scan is in the community. The sonograoher carrys out the scan and sends the report to the refering GP. Therefore she would not tell me anything. But instead of the report taking the usual 7-10 says to be sent back she was sending it urgently within 2. But wouldn't say why.
I am petrified. It's clearly not straight forward as it's urgent. But I can't stop worry about the extent to which its bad. I have almost all the early symptoms of ovarian cancer and although only 36 I'm so scared this could be it. This has been on my mind since it flared up 3/4 weeks ago. I just can't shake it. I know it could be just a large cyst but would that really warrant urgent? I feel so frightened I can barely concentrate. I've cried most of the afternoon.
To add to it all we lost a baby at 12 weeks in April and have literally just had a positive test (about 5 weeks). So im now stressing this is a false test of worse it might not be safe).
I don't know why I'm posting. I just suppose I'm looking for some hand holding...
