I really need some support - I am so upset and worried that I may have terminal cancer.
It all started in March when I was having pain in the ovary area on the right. I was worried about ovarian cancer - lots of tests inc bloods, US scan and MRI scan - all came back clear. I started then to get itchy toes, bruises on my legs and blood blisters in my mouth...I tried to put this all down to anxiety. I am quite sure the doctors were writing 'anxiety' in their notes
Then my groin lymph came up and orginally the doctor thought in was an enlarged vein. Well I have just come back from seeing another independant doctor after a few days of really sore pelvis and legs who confirmed that infact it was my lymph gland and is the size of a thumb! he has sent me (there and then) for urgent blood tests.
The lymph is soft and spongey...I am so worried that all ths time I have been going back and forth to the doctors that I have had 'C' and now it is too late. I am a mother to young child who is starting school in Sept, I need to be there for him till is at least a young adult -and my hubby :weep:
How I am going to cope from my agoraphobia taking off again because I know the stress of this will trigger it all off again.
I have no one really to talk to either (hubby pretends it is not happening) and no friends. My family are a nightmare when it comes to illness so I steer clear.
