Not sure why I’m making this post but I need to say it somewhere and hoping someone might be able to offer some support or advice.
My mum has had lots of worrying symptoms (pain, bloating, diarrhoea, feeling full quickly, loss of appetite) and they tested for bowel cancer which was clear.
She persisted and saw another GP who sent her straight for more blood tests including CA-125 which she had yesterday and she’s been contacted saying a doctor is going to call her tomorrow about the results.
I feel sick with worry. She’s already had cancer once many years ago and my step mum and mother-in-law also both currently have stage 4 cancer - it all feels too much.
I’m really close to my mum and I don’t know what I’d do if she had ovarian cancer as I know it’s often diagnosed late and everyone I know who has had it hasn’t lived for very long.
