Hello everyone!
well it all started just over 2 years ago when i was 25 i thought i found a lump under my arm and as i am petrified of the doctors i didn't go until a week later and as you can imagine i was in a right state. I finally went and it turned out it wasn't a lump and was nothing to worry about! 3 weeks later i took my daughter to see a musical when we got home i got into bed and had a severe chest pain i couldn't move and in the days after i was getting pins and needles in my arm, i was convinced i was going to have a heart attack, at this time i was seeing my doctor every friday so she could check how i was feeling as she thought i was depressed (i wasn't) and for 8 weeks i thought i was going to die until i finally told her what i was thinking, she asked how long i was feeling like this and i told her, she replied with "it don't take 8 weeks to have a heart attack" and now when i look back i can have a little giggle of how silly i must of sounded but back then i believed it was going to happen. At that time i was very over weight so i joined slimming world and have since lost 8 stone.
i no longer worry about my heart but i am in constant fear of cancer in the last 2 years i have thought i might have breast cancer, cervical and now i am thinking i have bowel cancer, for over a year now i have had piles they are very uncomfortable but i have shown my doc (several times) and said she can refer me to the surgeon who will have a look to see if he can remove them but i have put it off as i am scared of being put to sleep just incase i never wake up again! but finally 4 weeks ago i give in and have asked the doc to refer me to the hospital, but since 4 weeks ago i have started to have very loose bowels (no direohea) which is a change in my bowel habits they are so loose that i don't even feel the discomfort from the piles, my brain is working over time i am in constant fear that i will die young and leave my kids with out a mum. please help!!
Also i cannot read or watch the news because all this jade Goody stuff is frighting the life out of me!!
