Hi, I'm Sadie. I'm 24 years old and have not long had a baby (he is now 4 months)
I have diagnosed OCD and health anxiety (apparently) although I really do think I'm ill and think they maybe try to make out I have health anxiety to make me question myself.
I have been finding things very hard the last couple of months, my OCD has become far worse than ever before as before I had my lil man I wasn't afraid of contamination (my OCD used to present itself in other ways, which it still does, but now I have the added contamination worries)
Also I am so scared I have cancer it is ruining my life. I cry nearly every day because I think I am going to die and that my little boy won't know or remember me and won't feel the amount of love I have for him.
I just want a full body test to make sure I don't have cancer, but feel as though the doctor is fighting me all of the way.
They found I had aneamia in my blood tests, I have a lump on the back of my neck and also on top of feeling like I may have Lymphoma I am also showing signs of colon cancer. I am tempted to go with bupa so that they will do the tests I want done ... I am seeing a specialist in february about the symptoms I have for colon cancer (after several visits to the doctor and asking them over and over for this they finally agreed)
But I'm not 'allowed' another blood test until february because I had one a month ago - but the anaemia obviously makes me worry as that can be a sign of cancer.
Just want some peoples responses to this and just other peoples experiences, I'm in a very fearful place at the moment and very very upset
