Cannot shift this health worrying

[unsure_about_this]

So with 6 sessions down with my CBT I thought things may help me.

I just worry so much, still with bowel cancer worries had the camera up my back side ( sigmoidoscopy ) CT scan, MRI scan, abdominal ultrasound, blood test, abdominal felt 5 times (one GP did not even bother) same for rectal exam.

I cannot stop worrying about cancer, I worry about shoulder bones, arms pain, rumbling in stomach.

I also worrying about my poop shape a lot. I still have a good look down the bowel regular when I go. (I know it depends on what you eat) and drink. I always jump to the wrong thing and should not have trusted Dr Google from the start.

With my fears about testicular cancer again more checking than ever and now because I am 30 worrying about prostate cancer even more than ever. I would like more test and exams, even though I have a lot spent on my tests in the last 12 months.

All what has been found from the sigmoidoscopy is possible a small loopy thing on the small bowel which could have been there since birth. I am scared having this scan done nuclear abdominal something scan.

I am sure if there were polyps found from my sigmoidoscopy or rectum I would have been sent for a colonoscopy.

Phil CBT will help but it takes time.

Have you been using the techniques that your therapist showed you?

Unfortunately it is unlikely that your HA will go away but with practice you can learn to control it and stop the compulsive checking.

Good luck

I have been trying to use the techniques but I don't think there are working. I just cannot focus on them. I am very scared that I have symptoms, but it probably that little voice in my head telling me.

I been given some meditation online to try.
