Hi there, I used to be a healthy 39 year old – in the last seven months I’ve been in severe decline. Experiencing sharp abdominal pain, extreme nausea & fatigue, chills, pains in legs and joints, copious discharge, loss of appetite, bowel problems (not being able to hold it), and losing weight rapidly. Recently I’ve developed a cough, chest pain and a lump swelling on my neck. I’ve been through all the tests and then some, CT scans, colonoscopy, pelvic exams, transvaginal ultrasounds, blood tests like CA-125, chest xrays, and they’ve come up with nothing. Ovaries seem normal – but I’ve heard of cases of ‘shedding’ cancer cells. How on earth can this get detected? I've been told it's IBS, anxiety, nerves, etc., and I just can't take that seriously now.
I’m on sedatives to take the edge off the nausea and pain somewhat. What more can I do? Does one just sit back and wait until something finally shows up – perhaps fluid in the lungs? I really feel like it’s already too late – any suggestions at all?
