Hey guys well ive been progressing a lot & ive been much happier & anxiety symptoms have gone away a lot I feel normal for once. I went to my doctor a week ago for my results, she told me all my results are normal THANK GOD from that day my anxiety and symptoms magically disappeared. I weighed myself today & ive lost weight about 2 something pounds this is a problem to me because maybe 2 months ago I was 147, today im weighing 140.8. Maybe a week ago or two I was 142. Something. Could it be cancer or can cancer cells be detected in blood ugh I just need reassurance plz I dont wanna go back to the way I was. Pregnancy test was negative, everything normal. I see my doctor again in 2 weeks though. What could it be ?? Help Im scared to be how I was before sad

    I agree with emzielou, thats how health anxiety works. Your focus moves on to something else once ome worry is resolved.

    Unfortunately anxiety needs to be worked on and managed long term, theres no magic fix. And weight fluctuation is very common with anxiety because of the stress and worry.

    Same here. Lost lots of weight ( i didnt even knew how much till people would ask me if iam all good). And after a while i started to get better and what do you know ? I became very hungry ! My body told me i got to eat ! When anxiety attacks me every once in a while, i kinda lose appetite again and i loss some weight. From what i understood weight loss due to C, is an advanced stage and for sure will make blood results off the charts.

    Improve your mood and see how youll become hungry again !

    All the best ! We will get out of this crazy evil cycle eventually.
