Oh help worried myself so much about stomach cancer my bloods have all come back normal so a bit calmer I am coming off citalopram down to 15mg from 40mg taken 5 months this,is,hard still. Haven't got rid of cold lots of mucus and I keep getting headache it might be sinus or coming off citalopram but it's scaring me also yesterday when I went with dad for his blood transfusion he has leukaemia I met a lady 55 who has cancer of bile duct they thought she had gall stones OMG she is 55 I am 50 and it scared me so .much
My liver z00 function test was normal ranges please can someone advise I'm scared:weep:

Starting with the "I am not a doctor" disclaimer,…..but since you have seen a doctor, had tests, and they are clear……may I ask what you are doing to treat your anxiety? May I also ask why you are weaning off of your SSRI when you clearly are suffering from anxiety?
