I keep posting at the moment as my HA is throught the roof, so forgive me for posting yet another worry. I keep worrying about cancer and have been checking my body lots recently.
Anyway, the other day I was looking in the mirror at my tummy. I then noticed that the right side of my tum (above belly button) protrudes more than the left. I was very scared. I lay down to check but unless I pushed my stomach out I couldn't see it. I went to the doctors who examined my stomach she said that it was probably just that I had more muscle on that side and that it wasn't of any concern to her. She felt for my liver, spleen, stomach, etc and said everything felt normal. She could see the prominent side when I showed her so I know I wasn't imagining it.
I keep checking now and so want to believe her. I am so frightened that it is a tumour pushing that side of my stomach out.
If anyone has any wise words to help me calm down I would be really grateful
