I didn't know any of these symptoms were tied to ovarian cancer. I have the BRCA1 mutation so my chances of getting this type of cancer is 87%. I've been dealing with gut and abdominal issues for a long time and today finally went to the doc. I'm getting tested for diabetes (why I don't know), anemia, etc. I'm 39 in a month.
I have had all these symptoms for about two years, and my belly has been growing larger during this time. I also have weight gain, but I believe that gain is from water retention, my body's way of fighting off infection. I have had higher than normal WBC count consistently but my doctor doesn't seem to be concerned about it. I have asked for a CT scan and my doctor ordered it for me. I am waiting on a call to have this imaging done.
I found out from genetic testing that I have the RAD51D familial genetic gene and waiting for preventative removal of my ovaries since last summer which I’m apparently at top of list for - I am getting ongoing menstrual cramps for over a year now and now waiting on my 2nd ultra sound to get me checked out again bc 1st ultrasound was negative - I’m worried I have OC already somethings not right. 😢
It is so important to keep our eyes open and see a doctor as soon as we feel anything different or unusual:/ stay healthy and blessed❤️

Yearly ultrasounds are the answer.. Most women are not educated and don’t get tested.
