Hi, i suffer with health anxiety and have recently started cbt with a psycologist, i went to the doctor on the 2nd of july because i thought i could feel a tiny lump in my back passage, could have been a tiny vein looking back but what with my anxiety i always fear the worst, my doctore refered me to the hospital and the surgeon gave me a digital exam then the proctoscope, then the sigmoidoscope, he said everything looked fine and nothing to worry about, by the next day i was back at the doctors, still worried they might have missed something, so he refered me again, got an appointment 5 weeks later, different doc, same exam, sigmoidoscope, said all looked fine, no signs of bleeding or polyps, nothing to worry about, he said at 42 it was extremely rare to get cancers there and that the average age he sees patients with it is 72 give or take, he said there is more chance of me being hit by a car, but i still can't put it out of my mind, should i just move on, maybe my councilor can talk some sense into me on friday.
ps, i don't know if guys are allowed in here, i just assumed it would be ok.
