Hi, My mum was diagnosed with ovarian cancer when she was 36 and unfortunately she passed away after 4 years of chemo. I was very young at the time, however I'm now 20 and in the past its been mentioned to me that her Dr's believe it is genetic (possibly a mutation) and I should be tested at the appropriate age.
Recently i've been getting really sharp pain every night in my abdominal area (right on my right ovary), which according to my Dad was the only sypthom my Mum ever had. I understand that I am really young, but I'm wondering considering what happened to my Mum if they would be willing to test me now? I'm very nervous about going to the GP, I'm scared their either laugh at me or it could turn out to be something serious.
I wanted to try and find out what they might say or do with my situation ?
Many thanks
