Scared it's ovarian cancer?!


Question: Scared it's ovarian cancer?
For 6 weeks now I've been having lower abdominal pain (period type cramping constantly so it never goes) with the occasional sharp stabbing pain on the right side of my abdomen with other symptoms such as
fatigue
pelvic pain
lower back pain which starts from the kidneys and goes right down to my bum
groin pain
leg pain which effects the whole tops of both my legs
Heartburn (recently)
Bloating in both my stomach area and lower pelvic area
and even my neck hurts. My periods are still regular usually every 28 days give or take a few days but i have noticed there a lot more painful and no spotting in between.

I have been to the doctors several times and had 2 full blood counts done, diabetes test, I've had my thyroid and liver function tested and have been tested for inflammation all of which have come back clear oh and iv also had a cervical smear which again was normal. My doc doesn't seem worried but I have a transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasound on the 4th march (earliest date they could give me) but until then i'm scared things are going to get worse.

Has anyone else had these symptoms with ovarian cysts because im so scared that it might be cancer? Its making me feel awful although the worryings probably not helping.
By the way I'm 25 years old. Thanks in advance, will pick best answer :)

Answers:

I'm sorry you are having all these abdominal problems but you are right, many of those symptoms are those of ovarian cancer. You are doing the right thing though, getting these exams as this can be cured if caught early enough. I know it's hard not to worry, but try to look at it this way, either you have cancer or you don't. Nothing is going to change that and it's better to know than let it go if you do have it. I'm betting it'll be nothing serious from what you've said about the exams you've had so far so try and relax until March, okay?

My wife did have some of these symptoms with ovarian cysts and it was just cysts, nothing serious though she did have serious abdominal cramps.

Good luck! :)
