Been to doctors today

[Hollyhardwick]

Hiya I have cancer phobia and have had tendor boobs for
a couple of weeks-so of course I was thinking I have got breast cancer!!went to the doctors and was shaking he gave me a breast check and said he found nothing to worry about and if he was slightly concerned he would have sent me to the breast clinic.so I came out feeling great and like a silly fool I have now talked myself into not believing what he said !!it's so unfair it takes over my life!!I am waiting for cbt and really hope it helps me..:weep:

Hi Holly ,
Like you my HA centres around cancer.Its the pits isnt it.? No matter how much reassurance the Drs. give me I never believe them.
I too am waiting for cbt.
Hope it helps as I have had spells of HA all my life and am now 67. Guess I am stuck with it unless the cbt works.
Good luck and I hope you will soon be feeling much better.
Anne

You are fine.. you know you are fine.. thats why you are calling yourself a silly fool, bless you... just keep reaffirming that... you did go though getting checked.. now you have to put that worry behind you and relax.

Take care

If only we could trust what the doctor says and leave it at that. I have been down this route many times myself, the anxiety always seems to be hanging around waiting to find a weak moment to start up all over again.

I am sure you will find cbt helpful; you will learn how to change negative thoughts into positive ones.

Try to relax and trust what the doctor has said - there is no way he is going to take any chances - he is one hundred per cent certain you are fine and have nothing to worry about. Wishing you well with the cbt. xx
