That's great news, Inanna but be careful about speculating further because you are sure to come up with something equally grim before the 22nd to torment you further?
Celebrate the good news re ruling out PC though x

This is great news! My mom went through basically the exact same thing as you and all it turned out to be was GERD, IBS, and both of those things being exacerbated by her anxiety. She took a month or two of a PPI for the stomach acid and got back to normal! It started flaring again this year - again right at the holidays - and she was able to calm down after a nurse at her doctor's office was like - NO! You have GERD and IBS. Stop. Also, makes sense it would get back around this time of year when people are often eating the worst!
Yes, great news ... it will be good for you to read back over our replies to your thread and yes it will help others.
I've also been there too and have stomach issues, plus I had slightly raised Lipase levels so was really worried. I learned that these raised levels can be due to other issues other than relating to the pancreas eg. stomach, IBD, coeliac, Sjogrens and some other autoimmune conditions, but my HA jumped me to the worse scenario.
You may find that in a few days time, your pains ease off because the muscle tension will lessen. Write down some things you want to discuss with the specialist and good luck with it all. Enjoy this time and celebrate in some way x
I'm so happy to hear this! I've been following this thread closely and I'm so happy you received favorable news.
Best Wishes
I asked myself one day, "What if I actually don't have cancer? What if I'm not really dying? Then surely I'm alive and should be living."

Thanks for all of your replies
yes, I have to try really hard not to go down the rabbit hole again, especially as I still have pain, especially at night. Mostly in my side, but then this morning I coughed and I got the most horrendous pain in my stomach area. I also have mild pain in my groin right now.
Ive done all of this ha things, wondering if they missed something, or got my results mixed up with someone else, or even if they were just telling me that on the phone, as it’s a long time to wait and worry and will give me the bad news next week.
In other news, I have booked my first hypnotherapy session next Thursday
thank you all again

Good news about the hypnotherapy-a very positive move.
Ignore that HA "voice" though-as WM says, it's completely irrational and ridiculous. You've had a clear scan and whatever discomfort you are feeling is of a benign cause.
Hi
thanks for the reassurance. Oh why won’t ha let us have some peace?
Now, I am worrying that maybe it’s lung cancer. When I had the scan , the radiologist said “ all abdo organs except lungs”. My dad died of lung cancer and he never had a cough, his symptoms were rib pain.
I don’t smoke , but that doesn’t mean it can’t be.
