A while back my DM had constant periods - lasting m in one go. She went to see the Dr who referrred her to Gynae. They removed a growth from her uterus and suggested she have a coil fitted. She did and the bleeding continued. She queried this and was told it was normal with the coil. I cant remember what happened over the growth but due to the continouos bleeding she has been back and they have examined her, finding "speckles" on her cervix. The DR said to my mum she couldnt say then and there what it was and that she would need a further procedure to check.
Coupled with that my mum has had an awful cough for months and finally went to the Drs who gave her antibiotics quoting a chest infection but asked her to go for a chest xray too. The Dr called her at home a few days later saying that there was "something" on the xray in/around her lungs and he wanted her to go for a CT scan.
AIBU to be shit scared that it's something serious? I find it very hard when my Mum talks to me about it as I naively think if I dont hear it it's not happening. I then also feel shitty on my Mum who is also terrified too when I try and steer the conversation elsewhere. I know IABU there.
Anyone had similar experiences (hopefully positive)?
