Today my anxiety has been through the roof. I just can't shake the feeling I have pancreatic cancer, like my mum had. I have a back ache, and am off my food. Today I tried eating a meal and couldn't finish it (generally not like me) and felt really full really soon. I've spoken to my dr again and again and he won't do tests because 'he's certain there's nothing physically wrong with me'
How do I get over these thoughts? I'm on medication for anxiety but these won't change my thought process. I just wish he'd do blood tests or something. I feel ill have this fear forever. It's ruining my life.

Can your doctor put you on the waiting list for CBT which would help you to change your thoughts?

I did ask him and he said he wanted to wait until my meds kicked in and reduced the racing thoughts so I could take in what the therapist was teaching me.

Yes that will be best, as least he is going to do it for you :)
