I'm really scared I have cancer!

I have the exactly what you have lump by lymph node ear aches lump in throat chest tighten, pain in back sholders, breasts hurt head aches I had a ultra sound back in october they didnt find anything. I hate having these feels cause it takes over my daily living and I have another dr app this Friday but im wondering if you found anything more out. And the fluid like bumps on lower back ive bad those too. I have two kids and I just kept telling my self that my body just changed from having kids.

Its so hard not to think you (meaning anyone) they say every symptom can be cancer and its so hard to find if you dont look hard enough and you hear of mis diagnosis all the time and I know im not helping be positive right now but I get sp scared and I have been driving my friends crazy talking about it but I am one who has to talk about it to feel better. But sry back to my question did anything come of this? I have looked up hodgkins and some of they symptoms match and one lady had to finally tell her dr she wanted a biopsy before they found it

Hi guys I no this chat was a long time ago but it's the only chat on here that I can found that relates to me I must Google my symptoms everyday but only because I have had symptoms that I have never heard anyone else with anxiety say they have had these so they are constant back pain sharp/ache for about a week I have had back pain before but not constant for this long stomach pain ache/burning or winded feeling bone pain in the knees fingers hands hips toes sometimes a feeling of feeling just sick Generally unwell sudden dizziness vision problems and shoulder pain hope your all ok now though but would like to hear of anyone that got any of these please comment I'm terrified

Hi im new to this I'm 23 and ever since I've had my 3 children my health anxiety is out of control it is ruining my life the constant worry I can't cope with it at the moment I am convinced I have cervical cancer because I was bleeding and I have an aching leg and back I'm not sure if its my anxiety doinh that to me as I read on Google the symptoms yes I constantly search up cancer on Google! I've been to the doctor who is sending me for swabs for sti on Monday but I am convinced I am going to die of cervical cancer at the age of 23 the thought of leaving my kids makes me feel sick to my stomach! Charlotte96197 all of your symptoms sounds like its the anxiey as I get the esact same when mine gets really bad I've been told by the doctor that it is the anxiety even the bad eyesight how are you getting on now? I'm so glad I'm not the only person like this it is the worse thing ever stupid cancer phobia!! X

Did u ever find anything seriously wrong with u as these symptoms I have daily 

You are not alone.

Today I went to my GP after having extreme upper back pain, neck pain, chest pain and the feeling of a lump my throat's left side for almost a month. He palpated my neck checking for swollen lymph nodes and found a mass in my neck. I freaked out! Once I googled what was found I was immediately sent to Hodgkin's lymphoma websites. Now I can't get the idea that I have cancer out of my head! Not having immediate answers can take a toll on my anxiety. Getting a blood test and neck ultrasound tomorrow.

You took the words and feelings right out of my mouth. I am Hunter Majurin ;look me up on Facebook i would like to talk more about your symptoms and mine. I just got off Fluoxizine and now feel worse then i did before, very worried. Thanks

Hello Charlotte. I am going through the same thing that you are going through. It's very hard for me. I am scared to go see a doctor cause I think I might have cancer as there are many lumps in my neck area(inside)that I can feel it while touching my skin. 😟

I know this post is really old but I am around your age (24) and have the exact same symptoms. From feeling a lump in my neck (behind the ear) to bloated stomach. The doctor keeps saying it is just an infection or fluid in my sinuses. Apart from this I have frequent headaches and dizziness. Again the doctor links it to sinus. I also have a cold since a month that won't go away. I am really scared and wanna know what came out of your concerns. My body is overall lumpy (so is with other people in my family) and every time I feel a new lump I think it is cancer and it is spreading. This is honestly very frustrating!

Most people with health anxiety catastrophise about cancer and serious illness, unfortunately it's all part of the problem. Best advice is to deal with your general anxiety and you should notice the physical problems lessen

Yes i worry just as much. How do u feel now? I can understand.. Over the last few weeks ive been so stressed out about having cancer that i cannot focus on my daily work.

I have also been suffering with health anxiety along with genaeral anxiety.

I convince myself daily that I have some terminal illness. It is really beginning to affect my life.

I have 2 children who I worry about leaving with no mum.

When I am feeling worried I find I am snapping at my family, which then makes me feel worse.

In the past few months I have convinced myself I have cancer in various parts of my body. Every ache or pain sends me into meltdown and thinking the worst. Every morning inwaknuo with a feeling of dread.

I really am at my wits end and feel like I can't carry on feeling like this every day.

HI charlotte im from malaysia seem you are not alone im scare with cancer too

i started feel anxiety when my schoolmate die because of leukemia since then i was really phobic with cancer sorry my english is bad hope you understand bye

 

Hi, I know this is an old thread. I'm Stephen, living by the sea in England. I have crazy anxiety and currently I think I have colon cancer/stomach cancer. Just writing this makes me feel even more crazy. I've gained a lot just in the last few minutes reading Athol's post from three years ago: I know my anxiety turns kittens into tigers. I know, rationally that is. But as soon as I start allowing the tigers to appear that's it! Three hours on Google .... Anyone got more answers? I try deep breathing, distractions, anything. Then random symptoms occur .... or I take a symptom and turn it into something it isn't. That kitten becomes a tiger again!
