    I've been worried about cancer for the past 2 months now. First, I thought a had Colon Cancer, then I thought I had Pancreatic Cancer, and then Lung Cancer, and sure enough after that I though I might possibly have Leukemia, and now I'm back to Pancreatic Cancer...

    This is all so stressful and I feel so anxious. Just today I started having an itch on my are and my mind goes straight to Jaundice(which is a symptom of Pancan) and I have some left rib pain that is mostly just a sharp pain every once in a while, and sometimes I feel it in my back.

    All this being said, I just want some sort of assurance that I'm fine. I've gone to the ER twice now because of my fear of Pancan. The first time I have an X-ray of my abdomen and I had my thyroid levels checks. Both came back normal. The second time I had a CT scan and more blood testing and urine testing. All of this has come back normal.

    Like Thomas said their are people who are actually fighting cancer and not just stressing over the possibility like me. I've watched my grandfather die of Pancan right in front of me 4 years ago, and it's not fun.

    If possible, can someone who has experience with abdominal cancers please help us to better understand the symptoms? Because I'm DONE using the internet to look up my symptoms. The Internet tells me I have cancer every time. After my CT scan I felt so good because I felt like the possibility of cancer was crushed by the scan. After a few hours I went back online for my itch and the Internet told me I have jaundice and that the CT scan lied to me... This is terrible. Cancer is terrible. Being axicous over something that might be nothing is terrible.

    Please help me.

      Hi Omar,

      I have been in a similar situation to yourself with anxiety. But at the end of it i just had to move on. If you had cancer then your scans would've picked it up. Not just that your blood results would have picked it up.

      Google, jaundice of the eyes and compare it to yours. I've done it. I thought the slightest itch was jaundice. But my bilirubin never ever went up.

      I've had an MRI with MRCP which said I didn't have cancer.

      The internet tells me I have cancer every time I google my symptoms, but I know from all the tests I've had done I do not have cancer. I do have something wrong but at the moment cancer isn't the problem!

      Since I've stopped being so anxious I've managed to put on weight.

      Please try to worry less and enjoy life. If something was wrong it would've been picked up.
