Sorry for another entry. I am not coping much

At 29 I am sounding more like I am 69.

I am worrying myself to death to much with all this media, daily mail online, Internet, websites. This site does help me quite a bit.

I always look at the worst outcome.

With the centre around the big c word. I even worry about the rare type of cancers in the United Kingdom, even more scary the cancers males cannot even get (ovarian, womb cancer and diseases etc.)

I am glad that I have been refer by the doctor, hopefully it is not to late to help me.

I don't feel myself with all this anxiety. I have worried about brain tumours, bowel cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, diabetes, testicular cancer, heart attacks, diseases etc. I think sometimes looking up about a cancer or disease does not help me one bit.

Even though I had an eye test in January this year the optician he would have spotted something wrong with my eye movement etc. The doctors know I want a MRI scan because of my brain.

I have been sent for tests, scans, blood pressure (because I read that people with NF can have high blood pressure, even though if I did not have NF I will still get my blood pressure checked out) My Dad did have high blood pressure a year ago and has got back down to a normal range with tablets.

Even though I been told I have IBS. To add to my worry the specialist I saw knew I had NF (was in my notes) said it could be a lump inside what could be causing a problem. My Dad took me to see the specialist, to asked questions and also for my CT Scan. The specialist felt my abdomen and did a digital rectal exam which was not painful.

Surely if something was spotted in the abdomen from ultrasound in December and CT scan earlier this month someone would have been around now to take me to hospital if it was serious.

I have not loss my appetite.

Its the silent cancers I am even more worry about.

Cancer is my fear. I've had 2 years of CBT to deal with my HA in general.
It's because it's a disease that isn't visable. This triggers thoughts of how will I know? And what symptoms will I have?
It's fair to say that many minor ailments can display the same symptoms e.g. Rectal bleeding from piles as opposed to bowel cancer.
Try to reason with yourself. Ask yourself....what are my symptoms? How long have I had these symptoms? What else could it be? Perhaps monitor it for a couple of weeks.
Try some EFT (tapping). It really helped me to calm myself down.
HA is an awful thing, but there is help to make you feel better.
Hope you try to have a relaxing weekend honey x x
