Thank you for your advice. I went this morning to the surgeon and he does want a CT scan done this afternoon. I will take your advice and thanks again.

Although nothing other than surgery can give you a definite answer, see if the surgeon will send you for a CT. That can help identify if there is blood flow to this mass, and help determine further testing. Ovarian cancer symptoms mimic symptoms of so many other things, but you also don't want to let this go without some kind of answer. It's possible it could be gastro issues, but your doctor is right to be concerned and refer you to a surgeon. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that if it is possible it is anything dealing with ovarian cancer, surgery needs to be performed by a gynecological oncologist, not a regular surgeon. Gyn/oncs are specially trained to handle gynecological cancers and have the best chance at removing it intact, as well as removing any cancer that may have spread to other areas. It is important, so don't let the regular surgeon "bully" you into letting him/her perform this surgery if there is even the slightest possibility of gynecological cancer.
Best wishes to you.
