Sorry for another post again.

As part of my CBT I was asked by my therapist/coach to help him understand more about neurofibromatosis yes I had to go on the Internet but use hopefully a reliable source of NHS.

I do get monitor as best I can for NF, I may need one of the lumps removing but been told it is not a serious lump (just annoying where it is) so will be worried about that.

I am frighten that there is a small risk of certain types of cancer malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours from reading the NHS website.

I know it important to read about my condition and talk to the doctor. hopefully the CBT coach have asked some questions to one of the GPs I have seen about the condition.

I am still unsure whether are these problems worrying about cancer, maybe linked to my NF, my abdominal pain with worrying about cancer (even though it been confirmed as IBS by doctor, followed by a possible small pouch on small bowel etc.
