me again - really scared. THe white spot on the back of my thorat has not responded to anti biotics. My Doctor is aware of my health anxieties and is sending me to a specialist to "rule out cancer". She thinks it looks like a cyst and is propbably nothing to worry about but she says she has to do this because I have left her no choice because I am so anxious about it and my mind needs to be put at rest. The other symptoms I have with this "spot" are worrying me - I've been googling and I am so ridden with anxiety that I can't tell if what I'm feeling are real or imagined symptoms. I can't sleep tonight for worrying about everything and I just don't know how I am going to get to 5pm on Tuesday when my appointment is. Does my Doctor know more than she's letting on or is she really trying to put my mind at rest?. People keep telling me I look really poorly - hell I feel really poorly - and this is not helping. And now my partner has just told me that he will be out of the country for a week when this happens. I am so sacred and imagining the worst possible outcome. Anyone got any ideas on how i can through this? Thanks and love Alison
