for the last day or two I have been totally overwhelmed with fear about about lung cancer - I think I have it and am going to die :(
I had antibiotics last week and steroids for what I was told was a chest infection - I have felt a bit run down for a few weeks after doing the Great North Run
I had a bit of a melt down last week as I have been having pains in my left breast which I thought was breast cancer , I have seen 3 doctors now including a consultant and they have said I do not have breast cancer but could have an ultra sound if I want but my GP on Thursday said this might make me worse
My cough has cleared up a lot but I have been getting pain in my shoulder which is a symptom of lung cancer - I have been getting a pain down my left arm into my fingers - maybe it is breast cancer that has spread to the lung or cancer that has started in the lung and that is the pain I am feeling
I had a 10k race planned on Sunday which I did and have felt a little bit chesty since then
I dont know what to do, I am thinking I need a chest x ray but the thought of going for it and having to wait and then told I have cancer is freaking me out
I didnt even want to get out of bed this morning when the alarm went off at the thought of all this
I just cant cope anymore and would be better off dead anyway - if I have cancer thats what I will have to do
please help me
