Worried

I have been having the signs of ovarian cancer but the problem is that I am morbidly obese and never taken seriously.  I even have an elevated white blood cell count, breast milk secretion, a lot of gas, painful urination (feels like not empty), stomach bloating, bleeding in between periods, pain during intercourse, often feels like someone is raping me even when not having relations with my husband. I can feel the shedding of my cervix.  I can have a 10 day period be off it for 7 days and back on for 16 and off again for 5 and on again for 20 and so on.  It is very frustrating.  I am losing my hear, have extreme back pain, and now am getting acne all over my chin.  I'm very frustrated and depressed.  Two years ago I had a d&c, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, but the only thing they found were fibriods, polyps, and cysts.  I know that's enough but the problems continue.  I got so fed up that I just stopped going to the dr. altogether. I now even have vaginal discharge.  I am only 32 but I have a history of cancer in my Family.  I have two Aunts on my Father's side who have been diagnosed with breast Cancer and one on My Mother's side.  My Mother is in remission from Throat Cancer, My Father passed away of Lung Cancer and My Uncle (My Father's side) just died of Lung Cancer.  So needless to say I am concerned but never taken seriously.  I'm just tired of being treated like a hypochondriac.  I fear using the C-Bomb because as soon as I say that I'm sure they will close up and never listen to me again.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm sorry for everything that you're going through. I know it gets very frustrating.  The only thing I can suggest is that you look for another doctor.  I know it gets tiring going to doctors over and over, but you do need to go if you don't get answers.  Look for another one and see what they're opinion is on your symptoms.  Maybe they'll run other tests.  Have they done any ultrasounds on you lately?  Maybe you should just go to the ER next time you're in a lot of pain.  Good luck.

Hi there,
I agree with Pooh. You definitely need to be heard. We women know our bodies better than any doc. We know when things are not right. Don't give up, until you are satisified with the doc. Ihope you get some answers
