For weeks now I have been having this unshakable fear that I have lung cancer. I am 39, non-smoker and just had CBC and blood chemistry work done last week. The tests were fine. I have been having a constant pain in my upper back near my left shoulder blade for this time that is worse when I take a deep breath. I am also fearful of some shortness of breath I have had but I think (hope) that this is from anxiety. I have a bit of a cough but who knows if this is psychosomatic or not. It isn’t helping that while surfing the TV last night I came across two different episodes of House and since I can’t watch that show without getting scared I never do but in the 4 or 5 seconds I was on each episode both times they are telling someone they have lung cancer. I know that it is crazy but I am fixated and irrational. I have posted about this fear and brought it up to my doctor who listened to my breathing and did not seem too concerned and I have had many wonderful people respond to my posts telling me that they don’t think I need to worry but you all know how that goes. Anyway thanks in advance to any posts you may send my way.
