I haven't been active on these forums for awhile, as I've been trying very hard to keep a handle on things. I've not done too badly, but the counselling this year is very needed.
Posting here as I feel I need some support right now. It is health related and I just feel I need to speak about it with people who understand.
For the last 4 weeks I've felt nauseous, not vomiting but nauseous. I know that nausea is a sign of anxiety and IBS (which I probably have) but I just keep thinking it's something much worse. It doesn't help when I see news stories about people experiencing nausea then having cancer! (I have blocked most news sites from my facebook etc and majority of time don't click on those links, however I still seem to stumble across them in magazines, gen news etc)
I've had diahhrhea also, and stomach cramps. I had a sigmoidoscopy last year which was fine, so am trying to reassure myself that it's likely not bowel cancer. My fears are liver cancer, or pancreatic cancer etc. Of course, it could also be the iron tablets I'm taking, though I would have expected symptoms like this to show as soon as I started taking them, not months down the line.
I have an appt to see GP on thursday, so really just wanting some support so I don't go bananas.
