Hi Jane
Thanks for your response. Something isn't right - whether it's ovarian cancer or something else or nothing, it needs some investigating. My doc's pretty good, she's a friendly and down to earth kind of lady, so I'm confident she'll listen to my concerns.
Thanks again
Rosie
Hi, I had Ovarian Cancer, but never had ascites, and was alittle over weight when I was first diagnosed, but bloating in general comes and goes with me, then and now. Yes do your symptoms mock OC, yes, do they mock a zillion other things, YES. But the main thing is you know your body and you know something isn't right. Don't let your doctor just brush your symptoms away and say all is ok, (if that happens), you should have blood work , internal exam and an ultra sound as a minimum. Please keep us updated. Take Care. Jane
I should add that I have a major increase in flatulence - often associated with the bloating but also without.
