Hi there,
So i'm literally mess at the moment with health anxiety. I've been having some very worrying symptoms and all i can think about is cervical cancer!
I went to the doctors last Thursday after suffering lower back pain for about a month, then I started feeling under the weather. He said it was just muscle related. So I went back the next day and saw a different doctor who diagnosed me with a UTI and put me on antibiotics. That night I had some irregular bleeding which has continued since.
After 4 days on the antibiotics I didn't feel any better and was really freaking out so went to Accident and Emergency where they took blood and urine. Said blood and urine were clear. Felt my stomach and back and said they think it's ovarian cysts and sent off for a transvaginal ultrasound which i'll have within the month. Whilst i was there I started getting blood clots in my urine.
The next day I was such a mess, thinking about waiting a month for this scan, that I went back to a&e but this time the doc was very stern, said they can't do the scan quicker and that it was probably muscular after all!
So went back to the doc yesterday morning, she can't hurry the scan, says that it probably isn't anything to worry about but today i've got bleeding and blood clots in my urine again plus the back pain.
I really don't know how to relax about this, all these symptoms fit cervical cancer (thanks the dreaded Dr Google!). I did have a MRI for tailbone pain last summer but they didn't see anything.
The Doctor in A&E suggested I go to the local sexual health clinic to check for any other infections so i'm trying to go this morning but don't know how i'll get there as the idea of walking anywhere is terrifying me.
I literally have stopped living. I'm off work and I can't function, I can't eat and i'm scared of going to sleep in case I die. I'm scared to go outside in case I drop dead and i'm scared that if I wait even a week for this scan i'll be too far gone :(
Any words of advice/kind words would be much appreciated. I just feel so isolated and like i'm truly losing my mind and it'd be great to talk to anyone who suffers like I do.
Thanks for reading!
