Hello everybody,
I was to my local hospital today and took a spiral CT-scan of my abdomen/pelvis-region (with injected contrast).
Anyway; the scan itself was no problem but I`m very scared no while awaiting the results.
Have been having pain in my upper stomach lately and with my health anxiety I am of course convinced it is cancer.... And not any cancer either; I`m afraid it is pancreas, stomach,liver or gallbladder cancer. All of which naturally have an abmyssal prognosis.
I have a doctor`s apointment in a week but it feels hopeless to wait so long for the result. Luckily my wife is a nurse at the same hospital and hopefully she will get hold of the results for me tomorrow afternoon. Still; the wait is horrible and I keep seeing those nightmarish scenarios in my head. The call from my doctor telling me it`s cancer, the operations, the message that it`s incurable etc etc......
I know that so far all this is happening inside my head but I can`t seem to calm myself down at all....
It doesn`t help either that ther has been a lot of cancer around me lately. My father in law was diagnosed with kidney cancer last week, my friend`s brother died of skin cancer last month and my four year old niece is going trough a truly horrible treatment for a brain tumor...
I just can`t stop thinking that tomorrow it is my time to get the dreaded message....
I hope you`ll excuse my not-so-good English BTW...
