So nothing prepared me for what I was going to face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The day I had my ovaries removed was the day my world changed forever. It\u2019s been the most dramatic, tearful, terrifying and soul destroying time ever.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Surgical menopause never ends; my bones ache deeply, I get hot like I could pass out and if my HRT patches run out, I can\u2019t get out of bed due to the pain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And now I want to make sure others don\u2019t suffer alone like I did.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca, from Leicester, explained she was advised by her consultant that having her ovaries and tubes removed was the &#8220;safest option&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I lost my ovaries to suspected ovarian cancer but it turned out not to be cancer,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t really think about what could have been, as I can\u2019t live my life that way. I thought I was going to die, I thought I was going to leave behind my kids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My consultant had told me I had complex ovarian cysts and a high level of CA125, which is produced by some ovarian cancers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Every year 7,400 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK, but according to Cancer Research UK there is no test that reliably picks up ovarian cancer at an early stage.<\/p>\n<p>The two tests currently offered by the NHS include for high levels of CA125, but this is deemed &#8220;unreliable&#8221; as this can be higher for reasons other than cancer.<\/p>\n<p>There is also an internal scan, but &#8220;there is no clear evidence so far that these tests can pick up cancers early and save lives&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca had suffered with painful stomach issues since she was 15, but GPs told her it was either IBS, cystitis or was being caused by anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have been going back and forward to the doctors for decades,&#8221; said Rebecca, who relied on strong painkillers to ease the pain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I stopped digging and believed what they told me as they kept saying there was nothing really wrong with me. No one mentioned fibroids or endometriosis, yet I was riddled with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca fell pregnant at the age of 21 and then met her husband Adam when she was 30 in 2008, but she was left in such agony it took over their lives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We moved in together and on the first night, I remember lying on the floor in the house in agony,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It got the point that Adam was reluctant to book holidays or special nights out in case I was too ill. He was getting fed up as everyone was saying it was in my head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But as soon as the pain started, I sometimes couldn\u2019t leave the house it was so bad.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After falling pregnant with her second child in 2010, Rebecca found herself doubled over in pain and rushed to hospital at eight weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Doctors wrongly told her it was an ectopic pregnancy &#8211; but in fact an ovarian cyst had burst.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve never felt anything like it. I was left for 24 hours believing I\u2019d lost my baby as that\u2019s what they told me. I had to call Adam to tell him. It was horrendous\u201d, Rebecca said.<\/p>\n<p>A scan then revealed all the disbursement from the cyst floating around &#8211; it had burst &#8211; but it wasn&#8217;t thoroughly looked into after the birth.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca explained: &#8220;I was obviously over the moon that the baby was fine, but looking back, I think the fact I had a cyst should have been investigated more.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After Addison was born, Rebecca went back to managing her pain with over-the-counter painkillers and all her energy went into looking after her little boy as he was unwell with suspected pneumonia that was later diagnosed as asthma.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca said she had been to the doctors about her stomach pains, but felt as though she was &#8220;getting nowhere&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They kept telling me it was an infection, or I had pulled a muscle but deep down I knew there was something wrong&#8221;, she added.<\/p>\n<p>Two months before Rebecca and Adam were due to get married in August 2018, she started to experience sharp stabbing pains in the side of her stomach and feared it was her appendix about to burst.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was on the final countdown to my wedding and I was in agony,&#8221; said the bride-to-be.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a huge pain in my side, heavy periods and my stomach was huge one minute and down the next. I was worried I wouldn\u2019t fit into my wedding dress, or that I would bleed through it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But my GP told me there was nothing wrong, so I went ahead with the wedding. I was even in pain on my big day.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Three weeks later, in August, Rebecca made an appointment to see her GP as she was determined to finally get some answers.<\/p>\n<p>A newly qualified doctor told her the symptoms could suggest ovarian cancer and she was sent for a CA125 test in September.<\/p>\n<p>When the results came back the next day, stunned Rebecca had to make the agonising decision to have her ovaries removed and she was booked in for surgery at Leicester General Hospital just four weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was crying my eyes out on the way down to surgery. I didn\u2019t want to be put to sleep,&#8221; she heartbreakingly explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I came round from the anesthesia and was sick and in pain.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then my body went into surgical menopause. I didn\u2019t know anything about it. The HRT was making me really depressed, and I ended up turning to\u00a0Facebook\u00a0groups for help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My doctor told me she didn\u2019t know enough about HRT or surgical menopause. I felt abandoned. I had to take my care and health into my own hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One month later, Rebecca\u2019s surgeon called her to explain tests on her ovaries had revealed her suspected cancer was actually endometriosis and fibroids.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The operation changed my life for the worse, but at least I\u2019m still here. I could have developed cancer next year and maybe it wouldn\u2019t have been caught in time &#8211; I can\u2019t think about \u2018what ifs\u2019,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca believes when it comes to aftercare and information about surgical menopause she has been let down by the health system &#8220;every step of the way&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>After her devastating ordeal, Rebecca is now raising awareness of what she has been through so other women are more prepared.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body\">\n<p>Through her\u00a0Instagram\u00a0account\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/loh_lifestyle\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">@Loh_Lifestyle<\/a>\u00a0she\u2019s built up a following of more than 30,000 fans and has also been approached by Meg Mathews to spread the word about surgical menopause as part of the celebrity\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/megsmenopause.com\/2021\/02\/25\/hi-im-rebecca\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MegsMenopause campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Going through this at 39 has affected so much of my life physically and mentally and it\u2019s taken years of work to accept it,&#8221; said Rebecca.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The trauma of not feeling like a woman is huge and it can feel very lonely. I have always loved social media, and the information it can bring, in the form of women supporting women.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s made me feel a sense of self worth, cured my anxiety and it\u2019s given me a voice and a platform for women experiencing early menopause. I\u2019ve made some amazing friends too!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca wants to inspire other women going through surgical menopause to live their lives to the full.<\/p>\n<p>She added: &#8220;I try to be brave and embrace who I am.
