It all started in July, I had experienced stomach aches and IBS symptoms after eating with back ache and I wiped and I started to spot and I had just ended my period a week before. Now the cycle has continued where I'm constantly spotting and I'm so scared I have ovarian cancer. I also felt fullness in my pelvis area which would get worse when I stand up. I went to the doctor and my doctor told me that I'm too young and my symptoms aren't related to ovarian cancer. I feel like my feelings and concerns are being invalidated and I'm so scared because my symptoms align with ovarian cancer or cysts. I have nowhere to go and I'm fearing that it is what I think it is.

Good advisor

Hi @danielle2x

I am sorry to hear about your recent symptoms and about your concerns with your doctor. It is important to advocate for yourself and asking the Carenity community is a good sounding board to hear what others have experienced. To try and get more visibility for your post, I will tag a few other members who may be able to tell you what their first symptoms were.

What were your first symptoms? What age were you diagnosed? Were you and your doctor aligned? If not, how did you deal with it? Did you go for a second opinion?

Take care,
