Hi everyone, i am totally stressing today for some reason more than other days. as i prev wrote on my other thread i had ovaries removed 6weeks ago on thursday and today im now panicing about the results. it has always been in my mind but not like this. my problem is in april this year i went to gp as i was taking 2 periods every month she gave me tablets to stop the bleeding and said as i was so near to operation time i waited on referral to gynacologist my op would prob have been done. in june and july i took 3 periods a month and immed after op i took another but was told by gp this was normal as i still had my womb and period must have been due. i tried to dispute this as i had one on 12th july, 22 july, 31st july but this was dismissed. i have convinced myself something is wrong. has anyone had the same thing happen to them? should i be worrying? i cant speak to my husband about this as i feel i am worrying him too much with whats happening already and i need to look after him as im scared im stressing him out so i try not to talk to him about it and deal with my own worries? x
Sorry I can’t help on this one as I haven’t had my ovaries out yet but can you speak to your surgeon or consultant rather than your gp? Sorry I have little faith with gp’s! When I had my mastectomy’s I never even saw my gp just my breastcare nurse and surgeon who I really trust.
There are people on this forum that you can e-mail or call for support. Try that as they may be able to help!
All this gene fault stuff makes you more prone to panic anyway! I was convinced I had Ovarian cancer and it turned out to be IBS!
I hope you get some help.

katie, just to let u know i called hospital there and they found out for me that all was okay. there was a large cyst which they suspect was causing the bleeding but it tested negative thank goodness i have been crying since. im so happy as i was convinced something was wrong xx
Hi anon
Sorry I’ve been away so just got your post. That’s great news! II’m so glad you sorted it out!
I had anothet scare last week and found a lump but managed to calm down and think logically as I had my implants put in a few weeks ago and basically have no breast tissue! Anyway my surgeon saw me and it turned out to be an internal stitch that hasn’t dissolved and feels like a lump! Phew!! I think it’s hard not to panic after being surrounded by cancer!! Turns us into such hypochondriacs!!

Hi Lainey
Best of luck for the 31st. I’m sure you will feel so much better when all this is over with! The waiting is the worst bit!
