Feel like i'm dying

[KBeans]

So I posted in here a little while ago as, after some long term back pain plus bleeding, I convinced myself that I had cervical cancer. However, after an examination my mind was put at rest but I'm still waiting for a ultrasound. Turns out they booked it 2 weeks ago and no one told me so they are trying to schedule another one.

I'm still having back pain and some days feel pretty headachey and unwell. I just can't shake the feeling that i'm dying, that i'm riddled with tumours and they are spreading everywhere and that if i'd had the scan 2 weeks ago things might be different.

Today I feel really down and weird, it's becoming hard to separate how i'm actually feeling physically and what is just in my head.

I just can't shake this feeling today, it's so hard to work and I just feel so tired and low.

Any help would be appreciated, not sure how I can go on like this.

Thank you, that sounds terrible. I understand about being scared of the Xray, i'm terrified of the ultrasound. I'm totally convinced it's cancer of some kind that's spreading, my glands in my neck are all up and i keep getting headaches and feeling really tired.

We really do need to listen to the rational side of our brain though as stress + tension can cause a lot of symptoms including swollen glands, headaches and even backache!

Let me know how things go with the Xray x
