New Year ... New Worries!

So... Wednesday (01/26) the nausea I was having, which I would describe as a woozy stomach, turned into me going to the bathroom throughout the day feeling like I was actually going to throw-up (but all I had was dry heaves). It continued into Thursday. Then Thursday night I woke up with a sharp pain in my lower sternum. I tried to go back to sleep but it continued on and off. I woke up this morning and knew I couldnt wait any longer. I may not be able to have my surgery until I move but I need to know whatever I can find out now! I called the last Doctor I saw here, that told me to get the surgery, and scheduled an appointment for Monday morning. Im hoping to get a CT or another MRI. I feel like with the way my symptoms have worsened and the new ones coming on, something is really wrong...

To make things more difficult, Im stressing over other possible diagnosis's. I recently heard about a 24 year old who passed away from Ovarian Cancer.  This is something that has never come up and got me wondering. I started looking into it, reading blogs, and watching videos. The four main symptoms to watch for... I have. And I understand that they are associated with other problems as well, but having the four main symptoms of OC makes me think the doctors should have brought it up at some point, dont you think? Especially when Breast Cancer runs in my family putting me at a higher risk for both!

I have gone through so many stories similar to mine and my heart just breaks waiting and wondering...
All I know is whatever I have is completely taking over me and I need answers, even if its the worst possible news.

I will post again next week with updates. Fingers crossed I can get a scan!!
