So I went to my Doctor and he gave me the all clear and said there is no reason for me to have a blood test, he said that it would be very unusual for me not to have developed terrible symptoms of Leukemia by now. I told him I hit my leg very hard on holiday, expected a huge bruise and only got a small one, he said that has totally reassured me and said everything is okay.
My worry now is this blasted tickle in my throat. I can literally point out on my throat where it is, yesterday I pushed down on an area and it made me cough, I hit the tickle right on the spot. I keep thinking "oh god this is a cough that's going to get worse with the leukemia that i already have" I was reassured when I though "well I went 9 days without the feeling being there" but then Dr google said "sometimes it will come and go" and I thought oh for goodness sake, really?
I was confident that a Leukemia cough was due to having a virus you can't get rid of and therefore would mean it would be constant, keeping you awake at night and uncontrollable. I never cough in my sleep, the feeling only tends to come on when I'm awake and get's so much worse If I think about it.
I never cough, like it doesn't make me cough, if I cough it's because I force myself to and it doesn't help it at all. So it's not a cough I have, it's literally just a tickling in my throat that I'm trying to cough/clear.
Any ideas?
