Symptoms/diagnosis

[Kazww]

Hi all,

Please could I ask what your symptoms were and how you were diagnosed and at what age please...so worried

[cath40]

Why are you worried. My symptons very bloated and constipation.

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

I've had pelvic and hip pain also back pain for over 4 weeks, I've been bloating and swelling up but it goes down again well it did until I started taking co codimol now I've been constipated for 6 days really swollen and belly hurts had vaginal and pelvic ultrasound today, did you have any pain? And how did you get diagnosed please xx

[cath40 in reply to Kazww]

I had scan that's how they knew was mass did not know it was cancer till I was operated on and did biopsy. I was lucky caught stage 1 also ca125 blood test is an indicator

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Did they not know it was cancer from the ultrasound? How long has you had symptoms? Xxx

[cath40 in reply to Kazww]

No after operation and they did biopsy I think the worse thing you can do is self diagnose. Go to doctor get ultrasound scan and blood test don't speculate

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

I've had ultrasound and vaginal ultrasound today get results tomorrow, so scared x

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

How old are you please? X

[cath40 in reply to Kazww]

40 when I happened 4 years ago

[cath40]

My bloating never went down

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Did it get really big? How long before you were diagnosed please from getting symptoms??? So lucky you caught it early, did you have pain in pelvis or hips? Or back? Xxx were you tired all the time? X

[cath40]

They can never really confirm cancer till it's tested in lab by biopsy they can suspect things all right

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

How long from ultrasound to surgery? Did you have full hysterectomy? X

[cath40]

You are doing right thing getting scans. Hard to know how long I had symptons all cases are different. Don't imagine worse

[cath40]

I had operation week after cause had massive ovarian cyst don't like to think about it too much now cause it's behind me

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Thank you for messaging me I'm so glad to hear a success story, x

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Can I just ask did you have any other pain or symptoms? X

[cath40 in reply to Kazww]

No and no point comparing anyway everyone different get results you are probably worrying about nothing hopefully

[cath40]

It is scary but hope all ok sure it isat least you are doing right thing

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

It is really scary I'm so worried what tomorrow could bring x im so tired all the time and in constant pain in hips back and abdomen x

[cath40]

Could be anything see how tomorrow goes put out of mind you are doing all right things out of your hands now

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Crazy to think you had a cyst so big but no pain isn't it? X

[cath40]

I suppose had bit of pain when period due but nothing alarming to be honest. Got so bloated was like I was pregnant in fact people were asking me was I pregnant that is what alarmed me to go to doctor

[Kazww in reply to cath40]

Did anything come back on your full blood count? Xxx

[cath40]

I think it's best you wait for results you can't compare to me every situation different

HI kazww sorry you are on this site but pleae dont spend the night worrying about what it may or may not be. It may not be cancer. Now if it is, dont get upset, there are many new drugs out of the market now to make the disease manageable so think positive , best of luck for tomorrow and let us know how it goes. It is very hard to define exact symptoms Cathanne 40 is right everyone is different and there is a different treatment plan for some of us
