View Full Version : More symptoms
I made a thread a couple days ago about my lymphoma fears. I've been a mess since. I recently have started getting a weird stomach pain that I usually get when I eat something bad. I'm not sure what caused it. It is scaring me to death. Anyone have any ideas? I'm starting to assess survival rates, I'm really scared
Hi DrGOOGLE,
I'm 63, and my survival rate over the next 20 years is 50% - ie I have only a 50% chance of reaching 83. You may think that old folk naturally accept this - we don't. But most of us try to enjoy life without thinking about survival rates, which aren't good and would make us depressed.

I like your style Hashan :yesyes:
Do I remember from a past post you're only pretty young? You have to stop letting these fears ruin your youth. You can't think the worst every time you have a vague symptom - you have a whole life ahead full of minor aches, pains and wobbles - just like everyone else - nearly all which will amount to nothing.
A stomach ache is usually just a stomach ache. If you're prone to stomach ache when you eat bad things, it's not a leap to think you'll get similar pains when you're stressed, or your stomach may think something's bad even if you don't! Try not to worry about it, see a doctor if it persists (and trust me, there's a billion boring things that cause stomach ache before you even have to entertain nasty stuff), but there's no reason to think it's anything other than a stomach ache.
I have been back and fourth to the Dr about stomach issues, always do to stress.
