Yep – I have myself convinced. Very sad, but I have a friend that has lung cancer that has spread. So, of course that means I have it. Never really smoked (tried one here or there)….And I totally know people can get lung cancer even if they didn’t smoke. My brain just doesn’t work right and it’s hard to explain to my husband why I worry. :unsure: I have an extremely stressful job and I think that is getting to me as well. For the past week I have had this pain in my back right shoulder blade – came on suddenly. My husband has tried very nicely to tell me I have a “knot” of tight muscles in my back (he can feel it) – more than likely from stress. I have also always had congestion that causes me to clear my throat or cough a bit – so with the back pain and the cough – I have myself convinced I have cancer. Okay, part of my brain is like “seriously??”…but the other part is dread and worry!!! UGH – I was doing so good for so long and now this! I am going to the Dr’s in a few weeks for my normal checkup….I hate health anxiety!!!!
