Please tell me I'm not alone. I've always been a worrier, since I was little. Every pain, lump or bump has me convinced I have cancer.
I've been referred to the breast clinic by my GP for what she believes is a cyst (it's painless so obviously I'm thinkinh the worst) and also an Occupational Therapist about my anxiety.
I've had the lump for a couple of months, it's soft, moves and hasn't grown. Then last week I found one on my shin and ended up in tears for 2 days as I thought that any cancer I may have has spread to my bones. 2 GPs have checked and say it's just muscular and possibly from an old bruise.
I also get hip pain (have for years) and that freaked me out more as I came across a thread where someone mentioned their MIL was diagnosed as terminal and all she had was hip pain.
I have no appetite and an upset stomach, so even more fear, but this has been happening since I found the lump so guessing it's anxiety.
This isn't healthy. I'm just so terrified of leaving my family. I'm 25 with a beautiful, amazing 1 year old.
