I just keep thinking the result is going to be really bad as the pain is getting worse and I wish I hadn't been fobbed off about it for nearly two years.
Cancer doesn't equal pain.
What are you doing about your health anxiety?
Meds will only deal with the symptoms of anxiety - not the thinking habit that causes them. For this you need psychological therapy and the reason you're spiralling is because you haven't learned how to challenge those thoughts..
