Hi All,
I'm new to this website, but so glad that I've found it. I've been having health anxiety for the past 4 years, ever since my mother was diagnosed with cancer. I'm terrified of coming down with cancer and see an little twinge or pain as an indicator of the disease (yes, I'm guilty of reseaching the topic to death on the web too!).
I'm a 25 year old female and have been having left side pain for the past two weeks. Sometimes it moves into my upper chest and it's a burning sensation. I know, it sounds like heart burn, but I keep running the scenarios down in my mind....pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, etc. I know they're not logical, but I just can't break myself of the thought. Please help! I see a doctor in about 2 weeks, but in the meantime I'm driving myself crazy!
