I know you are feeling sick with worry at the moment but take it from me, you need to face this head on and ask for a review. Hopefully it will be nothing, in which case you can get on with your life but if it is back you will have the chance to get on top of it in good time. I waited just slightly too long and ended up in a whole lot of trouble.

You will get lots of support from everyone here if you are facing treatment again.

It’s really hard when you are already upset with all that’s happened but be brave! xx

Hi Harleeboo, unfortunately the worry is always there once you have been diagnosed. I was only diagnosed last year and even though I had a CT scan last month & there's NED when I get a pain or slight twinge anywhere I start fretting. I am not sure how long it is since your diagnosis & treatment but have you still been getting regular CT scans, if not maybe you should ask your GP to check your CA125 levels ( even though I understand some women's CA125 levels can still be low with OC) mine were a huge indicator at nearly 2,500. If yours turn out to be high ask your GP to set up a CT scan for you & hopefully it will be clear. As you know you can't waste time with this disease you have to act as soon as you can & I just hope all will be ok for you & then you can put your mind at rest. Wishing you all the best X

Hi again, I know you still don't have any answers but I think if your oncologist thought there was something seriously wrong he would have you in straight away so I hope you can relax a bit & hopefully your GP will get to the bottom of your cramps & pains & get you sorted soon. Let me know how you get on won't you. Take care Xx
