I have been a regular reader and contributer to this site for a long time. I have always suffered badly from health anxiety and my mortal fear is lumps and cancer.
Well now I have a really bad dilemma, I have a cyst in the outer lip of my lady parts. I have had it for a couple of years, I think, I really don't know, I had a baby nearly two years ago and I am almost certain it was there before I had him. I got it into my head last year that it was something much more worse and went to see the nurse who assured me that it was just a simple cyst, but if I didn't believe her then to see the doctor, which I did, 3 times, she told me the same. I have looked on the internet last year and all day today and read about vulval cancer and how lots of people have what they think are cysts and until they are removed how can you be sure!!? It is driving me mad, I am even making myself sore as I am constantly nipping my legs tightly shut which is no fun - the "cyst" has not changed at all, it perhaps changes a bit during the month but certainly has got no bigger, but everything seems to be snowballing now, I have looked again and think that other things in that area don't appear normal but to be honest, I really wouldn't know, can't say that I ever pay that much attention!! I have made another appointment to see the doctor on Tuesday and feel so frantic, I can't eat, I'm shouting at everyone around me, I just hate feeling like this, my life is one constant worry and has been really for as long as I can remember, I just feel so tired of always feeling like this, and to have a real lump that is there I can't get it out of my head - please let me know if anyone has had anything like this, or how to get on with things. The doctor wasn't keen on removing something so small, so I guess I have to get on with it. Not easy though.
Thanks for reading this.
