Menopause Matters magazine ISSUE 76 out now. (Summer issue, June 2024)
Thankyou for the replies and also sorry posing on wrong bit should of been on other health!!I started with very loose poo in July left it a few months then went to see gp, she wasn't concerned and said it was most likely something I'm eating! However I had a blood test I think but not sure kidney function all was ok. Saw another gp a few weeks ago with something else and told her something is definitely not right so she did a full blood count! Came back ok. My thinking was bowel cancer as dad has just died from it and mum had it a few years ago but after op is now ok. So 2 to later and ok blood tests I excepted what they said. Now I've developed back ache started around 5 days ago. My concerns are now back as my aunt died of ovarian cancer many years ago and strangely enough my mum and I was talking about her only a few weeks ago and she mentioned that my aunt complain of backache and not long after was told she had ovarian cancer which is a symptom!! There is no doubt there is something going on and that on top of other crap (sorry) I'm having to deal with at the moment I'm feeling not so great.I'm having to try and reschedule a apt I have today which was for something else to a later time or Change it to a telephone consultation as I can't get there for that time. Kidney infection!!!!! I'm sure one of the blood tests was for kidney or was that my mum who had that blood test!!! Since dad died I take mum who's 85 to all her APTS so I get mixed up who's having what done. I'm hoping to see gp today or if not tomorrow. I think I have a sixth sense, I think that's what you call it as just before we found out about dad I had a emergency thought in my had that I had to arrange my dad and daughter day, we sent to the falconery centre to fly some birds of prey, I wanted a day dedicated to just me and dad then we went for a meal after it was the best day ever. That was end of August 2017 , he died in December!!!! How strange was that I just knew!!! I now have the same strange feeling about me and the need to give up work and do things I enjoy as time is running out. It's very odd but very strange.So I will post back after I've seen gp and will mention the infection and ask her for a ultra sound on tummy to look at my ovaries I think. O'dear I'm so glum and worried.Clio x
