Okay to wait?

I’m asking this for my wife. She’s 38. She’s been having some symptoms that line up with ovarian cancer. We don’t have kids. She was on birth control for almost 9 years(ages 20-28). This would be around the time she’s ovulating but she’s never had symptoms like this with ovulation. Her stomach feels unsettled, she feels a little bloated and nauseous after she eats sometimes. Her appetite is normal- she can finish a meal so she’s not feeling full after a few bites. Has pelvic pain but noting severe. No bleeding or discharge. But this has been going on 4-5 days. Feels gassy. Has a history of ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids. She messaged her gyno and told her what’s going on and she wants to see her but her first available is not for 6 weeks. Should we push to get her in sooner or are we okay waiting. I’d like to think based on what she described if the doctor thought it was urgent she’d squeeze her in sooner. No family history of ovarian cancer. Her mom did have breast cancer but her mom tested negative for that BRCA gene thing. I know ovarian cancer is rare in itself and pretty rare under 40. Just want to be pro active. Any advice would be appreciated!

It could be a cyst, and it could be pregnancy, and it could even be nothing in particular. One way to get to see the doctor faster is to ask to be put on her cancellation list. I'd second the notion that if it sounded like cancer, the ob/gyn would have had her come in sooner.
