Hello everyone,
My husband found this site for me. I feel like it might be a lifeline. I've always suffered with health anxiety, specifically connected to Cancer. My first ' episode' as I call them, was age 11. I thought I had a tumour in my leg and remember hugging my leg in the bath, crying, saying goodbye to it as I was convinced it'd have to be amputated!! I'm now 38 and, in my head, I've had every Cancer going. Enfless trips to dr's, all sorts of examination and scans later, I'm in the middle of probably my worst episode yet! i had a pelvic scan yesterday and the nurse told me I had healthy ovaries. It made me feel better for about half an hour til my mind decided 'oh, the problem must be with your bowels then!!!' Cue major panic all over again. I've had blood tests today and now have a weeks wait til the results. Not sure how I'll get through the week. It's utterly ridiculous and I'm so cross with myself. I have two young children and I'm in control and happy in every other aspect of my life. However, worries about my health just floor me everytime!! The only good thing that's come out of this episode is that I've finally asked my dr for help. She's given me lots of info on anxiety and hopefully I'll get some help. Thanks for reading. I'm of to explore the site xx
