Previous scans

[sammc1878]

Hi I'm wondering if I have some trans vaginal scans in November last year would this have shown up ovarian cancer? I had five to monitor a pregnancy that unfortunately I miscarried so they were not looking for tumours.

I am ver scared as my ibs is worsening and I'm full of wind - I've been sent for blood tests today an FBC and CRP and ESR. I'm sorry for posting again im just very stressed and not enjoying life - my doctors just put this all down to anxiety

Hi! Did you look at the BEAT online symptom tracker on ovacome.org.uk? It may give you some guidance and let you save a record of symptoms to print out and take to your next GP appointment

All the best

Love Wendy xx

Hi there

So sorry that you are feeling like this.....your past ordeal , probably hormonal turmoil and the resulting entirely normal feelings are probably making your IBS worse which is causing you further anxiety . We are obviously not doctors but I have been on these boards for a while now. Personally I have never read of a patient where cancer was missed by as many as five scans. Most people are diagnosed correctly on the first . Your blood test results should be reassuring I really hope that you get them very soon . Ovarian cancer is very rare , particularly if you are of childbearing age , but there symptoms as really common.

Have you considered speaking to anybody about how you are feeling...many people find a few of counselling fantastic.

Take care of yourself

Sending you comforting hugs xxxx
