i'm scared out of my mind i have lung cancer and the worst thing i have done is google lung cancer symptoms and guess what i have most of the symptoms from the annoying cough to the pain in the right shoulder to the rib cage pain!!!!!!!!!!
i'm only 36 and suffered with health anxiety for the past 10 yrs off and on but the last 7 years has been very bad
been having cbt have a social worker that i see every week currently waiting for psychologist appointment i'm on diazepam but they dont seem to help at all, spend most of my day googleing symptoms on the computer and driving myself insane with worry, i have a young family and my husband has m.s so i do have a lot of stress.
i have had chest x ray in july that was clear just had another on las thursday and i'm out of my mind with worry incase they find something
i'm sure this may sound daft and i am a smoker (the only thing that calms me for a bit is having a cigarette)
My Dr is very supportive but i'm sorry but i just can't seem to belive him when he tells me nothing serious is going on because he failed to detect lung cancer in my uncle which sadly passed away
just feel i want to end it all now cant carry on much more like this and if i do have the big c most probably i will end my life cause i dont want my family to go through the pain of watching me die :weep::weep::weep::weep:
