I (34f) just found out today my mom (55f) has ovarian cancer. She went to a specialist for different check up and because her PCP sucks she requested his help with her other symptoms. He ordered her a CT scan which showed area of concern and she had a follow up MRI. Today he called her to tell her it was ovarian, and it was serious and he was referring her to gyn/onc. He didn’t provide her a stage or any additional information because it’s not his specialty.
I’m so scared. I’ve been on Google which is horrid. I want my mom to be around forever of course. I want to know she can fight this and I’m scared ovarian isn’t symptomatic normally until later stages.
I also think I need to get brca testing done?
I’m trying to breath but I’m a mess and idk even know where to get support so here I am on Reddit.
What do the acronyms on here stand for? What kind of weeks ahead do we have?
