Have any of you had a gynocological cancer(like ovarian/cervical/uterinecancer as a teenager or any young age?

I'm 18, I'm not having a regular period, I have since Sept 06, I'm just bleeding for a few minutes every few days, just gushing blood like when you cut yourself not regular period blood and in it there are massive golf ball size clots not the regular size, but it just run and runs out of me for about 20 mins and then nothing for a few days, should I be worried about cancer?


The Dr has referred me to the gyno but the waiting time for an appointment is 4-6months





Any advice appreciated

If the doctor was concerned than your appointment with the gynocologist would be much sooner. Cancer doesn't wait, so if the appointment is for 4-6 months from now and no one is blinking an eye . . that they are not suspicious. However, that does not make you feel any better. First, call your doctor back and explain the situation . . that you can't get into see gyn for 4-6 months and you are worried that this is cancer. If your doctor does not respond than it is time for a new doctor. With a referral you should have gotten in to see someone sooner than months later, especially if your doctor suspected cancer. You can also look around for another gynocologist who can see you sooner . . perhaps a new one that has just moved to town. Usually the newer doctors can see patients quicker. And, finally, now that you are 18 you need to have a regular gynecologist . . find one . . and next time you have problems like this you won't be scrambling for a doctor.





Good luck.
Reply:Can the doctor or nurse not give you a smear test from your surgery for the time being, and send of the results?? Because I had one a couple months back and results came within a couple of weeks.





I'm afraid I have no idea, but having clots that size must be worrying, but try stay calm for the time being because there's nothing worse than worrying yourself to death.
