I've been having terrible pains in my
abdominal region... A missed period,
and my belly is so swollen that I can't
fit into any of my pants.. It's so bad
that I look about 6 months pregnant and
i'm not pregnant at all.. Last year I
was told I had a little cyst due to being
pregnant and never bothered having it
looked at afterwards... Now my doctor's
telling me the cyst I didn't bother have
looked at is probably very large judging
by the symptoms i've been having. Out
of curiosity could this be ovarian cancer?

I've noticed the last little while that
i've been feeling dizzy, and during the
evening my stomach doubles the size it was
in the morning. I'm not sure if this is
normal. I also noticed that none of my
pants fit. I got my doctors results
today and they told me I wasn't pregnant
which didn't surprise me. Tommorrow I
have two apointments. One to see a gyno
and the other to have an ultra sound
done.

Feel the Same Way Posted: 05-08-05 00:22am
In the past 4 months, I too have gained 30
lbs. I hardly ever eat. I have the same
problem with my stomach being twice the
size at night than it was in the morning.
I have heard sudden unexplained weight
gain is a sign of ovarian cancer. I went
to the doctor and my pap smear came back
abnormal. Well, I have done my research
and the only thing that seems to match my
symptoms is ovarian cancer. I am going
tomorrow to the emergency room, I am not
waiting for help with medical assistance.
They are allready telling me that I am on
a two month waiting list because I am not
applying for welfare also.

Thanks For Replying Posted: 05-08-05 15:59pm
I finally got my period, and the cramps I
was having earlier isn't so bad now. But
i'm still gaining weight. I went for an
ultra sound and they said if they find
anything they'd report it back to me
immediately but it's been a week and no
ones called. I'm finding myself dizzy a
lot now, specially at night when my
stomach is so bloated I can't see my feet
when I stand up straight. I'm starting
to get really frustrated.
Apply for welfare if it means saving your
life. Ovarian cancer is hard to beat,
if it is ovarian cancer. It could also be
a cyst, they cause somewhat of the same
symptoms. Please keep me informed and
thanks for replying it's great to finally
talk to someone in the same situation.

Got Test Results Back Posted: 05-12-05 21:53pm
So I finally got my test results back, and
my doctor says I don't have ovarian
cancer, everything looked fine.
I'm in for my gyno to check my cervix...
Hope things are doing well on your end...
