It's probably been about a year or more since I've gotten so bad that I needed to post, but here I am.
I've got myself convinced I have ovarian cancer. I'm almost 35 years old and I've been doing infertility treatment since December. I also had to have an X-ray of that area...
So at my last appointment for infertility stuff he found some fluid near my ovary. Being a hypochondriac I know fluid is a symptom of cancer. I asked him if he thought it could be something dangerous and he laughed and said 'no it's such a small amount that it's just trapped behind some adhesions from my previous csection. It was 1.7cm of fluid.
I've got myself convinced that it's much more than that... lurking and that's all he ended up seeing. So then last Saturday I took a pretty bad fall and ended up in the ER for a severe ankle sprain... got bruises everywhere... so I'm convinced that the pain all over my body and back/thighs is actually a huge tumor pressing on things and spreading...
Also- nauseous, tired, and I feel much larger around my middle than I already am. I'm a bigger gal due to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) but I just feel more large lately. Haven't gained any weight though.
So I have risk factors - 1) PCOS 2) underwent fertility treatments
I keep trying to tell myself that nausea can be caused by anxiety, the bloat feeling is in my head and the pain is from me pushing on my insides trying to feel for a tumor... and I hear myself speaking to you all... sounding bonkers... but I can't help it.
My doctor isn't worried... why can't I be not worried too? Help!
