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

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

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

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

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

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
