Hi, I have had anxiety issues for a lot of years but normally keep it in check following CBT and a mindfulness course. However, since May I have been getting symptoms of a urinary infection (low down pain, urgency to go to the toilet), however no bacteria have been picked up from my samples. I now have to be referred to the hospital. I am absolutely terrified in case it's bladder cancer. I am 36 so the chances are low, but I'm not sure what else it could be. I'm pretty sure it's not bladder stones as I drink plenty.
I have a phobia of hospitals and general anaesthetics since a bad experience having teeth out at the dentist when I was 6 or 7. Basically I am scared stiff. I have had no sleep for two nights and just at my wit's end. My husband tells me there is nothing to worry about but then why am I being sent for these tests??
I also have backache, higher abdominal aching and pain at the back of my lungs. I'm scared that I have had the cancer for a while and it has spread.
Not sure if anybody has any advice but it's good to get it off my chest
