My gran died of ovarian cancer aged 42 and Im scared to death Im going to get it too.
Her sister (my great Aunt) has never had any problems and my mum that Im aware of, hasnt either- but for some reason I am absolutely convinced it will pass on to me.
My great grandma also had some form of breast cancer (i never met her) and they claim the 2 cancers are linked- (breast and ovarian)
I have felt bloated in my upper stomach (under the ribs) for weeks... and I felt like I needed to burp all the time too (someone suggested acid reflux)
I looked online at stomach acid symptoms and got myself some gaviscon and that seems to have cleared it (for now) but then I came across another website that says gastric signs such as reflux/indigestion also mimic ovarian cancer symptoms so now Im even more terrified.
Im 25 and had an ultrasound with my last pregnancy 11 months ago- I have managed to convince myself in 11 months I have developed severe Ovarian cancer and that the bloating/fullness is my bodies way of telling me (even tho the gaviscon got rid of it)
I thought stomach acid went on its own? why would I have it all these weeks and suddenly after having gaviscon it'd go? it makes no sense..... i've had it too long for a days worth of liquid to get rid of it (if you know what I mean)
Also I never had the heartburn with it but a friend of mine said that due to the burping I wouldnt suffer from heartburn..
My symptoms also got worse after certain food and drink.. orange juice/tea/lemonade/ fatty food...
im so scared its cancer... thinking about it constantly
