hi Soul22 - I’m so very sorry you are going through this at the moment , I know how stressful it is for you as I had similar last year, I had ovarian cancer, a very large tumour, had complete hysterectomy and all ok now, the waiting around for results is awful, I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞 and sending a big hug 🤗 please let us know how you get on xx

oh no bless you

So your solution was full hysterectomy? Or did you need chemotherapy and radion treatment.

My late mum had ovarian cancer she already had hysterectomy left ovaries in as no history of concern.

She had ibs and dr kept saying its that wouldn't go see different dr when she suddenly had bad pain told her go see gp.

Gp found fouid sent urgent same as i am but was to late 2 years 9 different types of chemo.

It was elattached to all abdomen organs couldn't operate.

However she was 73, bless you how are you now hunni.

Thankyou of course il update but tomorrow's if mri and cat scan no results until get gynaecology consultant appointment.

so sorry that your mum went through this and that you lost her, my only symptom was I bleed for 3 weeks which was very unusual for me as I had periods for 5 days every month so went and saw my GP she put me on the urgent 2 weeks cancer pathway, I had an internal and outside ultrasound , I had 2 tumours, one was attached to my ovaries , several weeks later they removed them, the biggest one was the size of a melon, thankfully the cancer was all contained in 1 of the tumours so I didn’t need any chemo or radiation- I think my self very lucky as it could have been so different.

Sending big hugs 🤗🤗😘
