Hello. I'm a 19 year old male, and I am scared out of my mind that I have stage three or higher esophageal cancer. It started a couple of weeks ago, when I began to have a bit of difficulty swallowing solid food. Originally, I thought nothing of it, as I had the same issue in May and the issue resolved itself within a couple of weeks. However, as time progressed, I started to feel worse. I felt like there was a lump in my throat, which I still feel 100% to this day is a tumour. The doctor stated that nothing was wrong with me and that I am worrying too much. I initially believed him, as a few days later, I was able to swallow food normally again. However, a couple of days ago, the swallowing problem reappeared and increased in intensity. In addition, I began to feel back pain. The final nail in the coffin for me was the fact that over the last 4 days, I have lost 3 pounds without any change in my eating habits. I am certain that I will continue losing weight in the coming days. As of now, I am convinced that I have esophageal cancer that is at stage three AT BEST. I have already started counting the days to my inevitable death from this. I am certain that my life will end before it even really began. Please help.
