what would be the best thing to do?

[randomworry]

hi guys

i ask this because i have already caused myself loads of stress and really do refuse to make my anxiety any worse.............ive made it ten times worse by googling etc!

while googling i found out my enlarged thyroid gland with nodules puts me at greater risk of cancer than i thought (latest research!) not surprisingly i have been freeeeaaaking out for weeks!

is it best to mention this to my endocrinologist and ask her what she thinks or try and just forget about it!??

thanx guys i really appreciate any advice

In this day and age scientists are always saying certain things put you at risk of cancer etc. Best thing to do is take it all with a pinch of salt, seriously if you believed everything you google you'd never do anything ever again. Mainly its all a load of rubbish. If you are going to get cancer your going to get it, its not to worry about day to day it is just one of those things, they say 1 in 3 get it, thats forgetting 2 in 3 dont. Thats not bad odds really.

Maybe you can have a short trip to drive away your cares!

I would tell your endo that you have read this info and ask what they think of it- then they have the chance to discuss it in more detail and hopefully put your mind at rest. If you don't ask you will forever be wondering if you should have:shrug:
