Hi, I`m new to this site and very very scared that I have cancer, I`ve suffered with HA for last 2 years and it`s getting worse.
I have 2 small daughters and it`s ruining mine and their lives. I`m constantly checking for symptoms, I have continual backache which I am convinced is lung cancer ( couldn`t be anything to do with anxiety or stress!) or the way I sleep!!
I`ve had 2 chest inf recently suffer with acid reflux and asthma and have a few times coughed up a little blood in my phlegm when having one of these acid attacks or chest infections, this has sent my anxiety sky high.
Gp is convinced it`s all linked with my problems and I would be really really poorly if I had a serious illness but I don`t believe him.
I`ve tried CBT and it hasn`t worked now trying counselling, my poor husband and mum are at their wits end with me and I just don`t know what to do it really is making me ill with all the worry and I can`t enjoy my life or my girls which makes me so sad it`s taken over my life.
Having read a few threads here I realise I`m not alone which is a little help but even now I`m sat here welling up as I just need some respite from this awful illness.
Sorry to moan on but I`m so frightened.
Thank you for reading xx
