Having a panic about ovarian cancer.

[JosieLouise]

So I've just been majorly triggered by a random TV programme, which quickly mentioned ovarian cancer being the 'silent killer'. I'm genuinely panicking. Of course despite knowing I shouldn't, I googled (dammit dammit) and read that stage 1 ovarian cancer mostly has no symptoms AT ALL. Now obviously I'm panicking. The idea that I might have it without any idea is terrifying me.
Please someone talk me down??
I'm driving myself insane.

Why would you think you have it?

I know, it's a scary one to hear about. But it's still very rare. I know of two people who had it and it was diagnosed in later life for both.
There is a less than 1% chance of developing it X

Why would you think you have it?

There isn't a reason. Although of course while I was having my panic attack last night I started feeling like I was bloated and having some pain, which this morning is gone, so obviously anxiety related. I know it's irrational.

Yes X You've got a good insight into it all, and it is so bloody hard to live with. Challenging your thinking is always helpful, if it's the catastrophic kind! You're OK, you know it deep down x
