pain in lower right side

[tanner2]

Hi, I'm new here but I have a question.  I am 43 and have had two successful pregnancies.
I have been having pain in my lower right side and radiates to my lower back for a month now off and on.
I have been very exhausted and my bowels have been out of wack, one day constipated then next barely making it to the bathroom.
I feel bloated and full in my lower abdomen, like i have a pouch.
Maybe I am jumping to conclusions but with everything I have read I am nervous it may be ovarian cancer. I have an appointment with my dr. on Monday.
Has anyone experienced any of these symptoms?

hi There,
I agree with PPhelps kind response. You have done the right thing which is the set up an appointment with your doctor.
best wishes

It takes a few days for the good doc to answer, she is very busy person. If you want to talk or have other questions please feel free to join the patient to patient forum for ovarian cancer. The wonderful women will be glad to help.

What has the doctor said from your appointment on Monday?

Don't worry to much Ovarian Cancer is very rare. 99% of  ovarian cysts, masses, and tumors are benign. The symptoms for cancer are the same for benign cysts, too.
