I was originally on this board almost 6 yrs ago. My dad had just gotten dx with end stage pancreatic cancer and at the same time I started having health issues: stinging/electric pains that would jump around ankles, feet, and hands as well as muscle twitching ALL over-thousands. Every single day. I started to panic: first I thought I had bone cancer, then was convinced it was ALS. All testing came back clear and I just lived with it. Eventually it tamed down but the stinging pains come back in flares and I still have twitching daily though not thousands.
6 months after my dad died I started having ab pain-I was dx with pancreatitis. They ran a tumor lab for the pancreas it too was elevated. My dr explained it can be elevated with pancreatitis. The tumor lab eventually returned to normal. However, I do have chronic pancreatitis. Mentally, Im slightly better with that but for years and years I was convinced it was pancreas cancer as it can often be middx as pancreatitis. I still have time periods of this fear.
Now hear I am going in for a biopsy of my left breast tomorrow to rule out inflammatory breast cancer-the most aggressive form and readiest-it moves lightening speed. Ive had a mark on my breast for a bit over two wks. At first I freaked out, then the dr calmed me down, then I started googling stories on how it presents and how drs are uniformed on this cancer so Im losing it again. I pray my biopsy is normal but I don't see how it can be. Its not normal to have a mark like this for this long.
If it comes back clear I am realizing after all this time that perhaps I need anti anxiety pills.
I ALWAYS jump to the most deadliest form of whatever that must be going on. The thing is, these are real concerns. I really do have a pancreas problem and it does increase the risk of pancreas cancer, I really do have a mark and thats how IBC presents. But I OBSESS over it. Is this normal? Do normal people do this? I think Ive looked at my bresat over 100 times today examining it.
