23 and ovarian cancer?

I am 23 and am scared to death I have cancer. I have had the following symptoms for months and have not seen a doctor because I am so scared but I have finaly found the courage to do so. (Please do not yell at me for not getting to a doctor, I know what a stupid mistake this can be).

I have had lower pelvic pain that was first only in my right side but has now been bothering both sides. I am having a lot of dull aching pain in my thighs constantly. Also have been burping a lot more and am always very tired and weak. After looking up these symptoms online I have pretty much diagnosed myself with this cancer and have been having EXTREME anxiety over it. I am on the internet several hours a day looking up the symptoms and am a wreck. Is this ovarian cancer?

Diagnosing yourself, is counterproductive.  Stop reading the websites and call on Monday for an appointment.  It could be a cyst, which would not be cancer.  You need to take charge and don't let fear rule you, because if it is cancer and you don't see a Doctor, you could be in serious trouble.  At your age the chances of cancer are low so see a Doctor.  Let us know how you make out.

I know it's hard, but don't keep looking stuff up on the internet. It will only make you a nervous wreck, believe me, I know!!  You taken the right step by making an appointment with the doctor. You'll likely end up having a CT scan and/or ultrasound , but even they can't determine if something is cancer.  If you do find out that you have a cyst of some kind, make sure to then get seen by a gynecological oncologist.  Even if it's not cancer, and the odds are in your favor that it's not, a gyn oncologist specializes in this stuff, and you want an expert to be handling things for you. But, by all means, stay on top of it. Even if you do have a cyst/mass of some kind, the vast majority are benign, and even benign ones can cause bad symptoms.  But,on the slight chance that it might be cancer, the earlier it's diagnosed and treated, the better.  Let us know what the doctor says after your appointment.

Hi! I'm 29 yrs old and been experiencing the same symptoms for months but I do have complex cysts that come and go..and that could be your problem,and innocent cyst can cause alot of symptoms.I also had alot of burping,appetite loss,which turned out to be gallstones (just had surgery month ago for that) and now still have chronic pelvic/abdominal/thigh pain.In two months I'm having another laparscopy,  gyno dr is thinking endometriosis..which has similar symptoms too.It isnt always cancer.
   For months I was on here 24/7 researching my symptoms..which pointed to ovc..and I had alot of anxiety,and I still do.We know our bodies,and if something is different it is wise to go see your dr.,but worst thing to do is dwell on it.I know it isnt easy.I'm interested in knowing what you find out...hope all goes well.Prayers,
