Need Advice About Ovarian Cancer Posted: 05-06-05 14:35pm
About six weeks ago, I began to experience
a greatly increased urgency and frequency
in urination. At first, I assumed I had a
uti or bladder infection. I went to the
student health center and although the
urinalysis did not detect any sign of
bacterial infection, the doctor still put
me on a sulfur based antibiotic for six
days. After the six days passed, my
symptoms remained the same. I went back
to the health center and they tested for
chlamydia and diabetes: both came back
negative. I also took two home pregnancy
tests (about four weeks apart) - both were
also negative. My doctor said the
increased urgency and frequency in
urination may be stress related. I'm also
experiencing persistent (though mild)
heartburn and general fatigue.
After having visited gilda radner's web
site, I am very concerned that I may be
exhibiting signs of ovarian cancer. I do
not have health insurance. Am I
overreacting?
