Hi First time poster, although have read many of the reassuring advice on here.
i've been having a burning sensation in my stomach for some about 4 weeks now, relieved by Gaviscon & i presume caused by too much wine.
I'm constantly in a mild state of 'awareness' (usually negative) about my health for years, so it took me a lot of effort to luck up the courage & visit the doctor.
He was quite reassuring & prescribed some acid blockers, but also wanted me to have blood tests done...... now i'm starting to panic.
Obviously fearing the worse the Big C!
I've got not real reason whatsoever to expect it, except i've always brusied easily (like for last 15 years, or as long as I can remember), now I basically cannot sleep at the thought of finding out i've got Leukemia!
Over reacting i know, but need to get off my chest.
