I suffer with health anxiety and ovarian cancer is my worst nightmare, I can't stop worrying about the what ifs, My mind is taking over, I'm not eating I just feel so stressed. My ultrasound is later today and I am so worried about what their going to say. I just want all this pain and stress to go away, but I think this is it..... I'm trying to distract myself, but just not happening, I am so down and depressed. Haven't even been seen yet, but my heads running away thinking the worst.

Please help me, I think I need a hug x

You just need to take a deep breath, have a cup of tea and wait for your appointment.

Who will accompany you?

Perhaps they should come over earlier and you can chat about your options?

Sending a virtual hug,

Laura

My husband is coming with me, I just really don't need this added stress as my brother in law died suddenly a couple of weeks ago and his funeral is next week....it's just all too much. I'm really not coping!

Awww, of course you need a hug and a BIG HUG. Don't think there is a soul in this forum who doesn't understand what you are going through. What time is your ultrasound - we can all send you positive vibes. Just think when you are lying there we are all in the room with you holding your hand. xxx Kathy

Hope it went well at the ultrasound...? It’s ok to ask for extra help from your GP to deal with anxiety if you need it...I had counselling while I was going through diagnosis- it really helped x

It's a very normal reaction to be stressed and worried when hearing this sort of news. But, what if everything is okay. That would be wonderful. Even if the news isn't as good as you're hoping there is still much hope. There are ladies on here that have survived for years, even at stage 4.

Hopefully, you've had some good new after your scan this afternoon but even if not quite so good there is a lot of treatment out there that is successful in giving you a great life. We are all here to support you as well as your health professionals.

Best wishes for good news. Zena xx
