Hi
As some of you may remember I was quite a regular poster on here earlier in the year. I was terrified I had lymphoma after discovering last October a swelling above my right clavicle.
Anyhow, as most of you know i went for all the tests---blood, X ray etc and everything came back fine. I still wasnt convinced and kept going back to my GP for reassurance. He referred me for CBT(back in April) and this week, whilst away on holiday, I have got a letter asking me to come in on Monday morning. Obviously, I am not sure if i will still be going as i was asked to ring to confirm but as i say i have been away!!! I am going to ring first thing Monday morning and hope that no one else has taken my place!!
I am now starting to panic about going. I do feel lots better BUT I still have rubbish days and the swelling is still there on my neck(well i think it is but OH says he cant feel anything!!!).I am no where near as "frightened" and obsessed as i was earlier in the year. Do you think i am wasting their time going?I have always suffered with anxiety and would hate to think i could ever feel as rubbish as i did again!I suppose the truth would be that I am still not 100% sure that I dont have a serious diesease but i think that maybe a year on i would be feeling quite ill by now so the doctors were maybe right after all!!!!
Thanks for any advice xx
