Scared I have oesophichal cancer

[katyfitz]

So I’ve just googled my symptoms of heartburn and occasional bloating and cancer came up. I’ve had this bad throat and cough with a cold for a while (it’s practically gone now) but apparently they are all symptoms of it. I just want to go to bed for once and be able to sleep rather than worry about cancer. Has anyone got GERD with their IBS or have similar symptoms to me. I’d appreciate hearing from you x

Those are such common symptoms. Ok sure, maybe they point to something serious in .001% of instances. The othher 99.99% they’re totally benign.
I’m also guessing you’re a reasonably young female....that puts your chances for this type of cancer near 0.

Googling before bed is guaranteed to cause insomnia and panic.

You have a simple case of heartburn/indigestion. To link it to something more serious is just stretching reality to its limits to satisfy the HA beast.
