What were your ovarian cancer symptoms?

[BEAchDays2]

I have a friend who has been low-key worried about this for about seven years, can anyone be willing to share their symptoms, in easy to understand language question, obviously she’s done all the normal googling, trying to help with health anxiety. Thanks in advance ❤️

My aunt died from ovarian cancer. Her first symptom was breathlessness. Her GP sent her for a chest xray and she had a lot of fluid on her lungs. :(

Also I should add that if your friend really did have ovarian cancer, she wouldn’t still be here seven years later without treatment.

My friend died from it eventually. Her first symptom was a bloated stomach which her GP dismissed. When she finally went for an x-ray, the female technicians knew what was wrong even before they did the x-ray. She got into a clinical trial for Taxol and survived a year or so because of it.

And I'll echo @MrsPapillon that if your health anxious friend thinks she's been suffering from ovarian cancer for 7 years, she's not been understanding what she's googled.

I mean this kindly but this sort of reassurance seeking does not help with health anxiety, it does the opposite
