So I have had a relentless fatigue for over 18 months now. Some abdominal discomfort and bloating (gastro doesn't think it can be colon cancer due to normal fit and other stool tests) but I definitely have heaviness there. My belly looks like i am 6-7 month pregnant. I have night sweats too.
I've had multiple tests and investigations - too many to list here. Went back to GP after being diagnosed hypermobile (but I don't think it explains the change in how I felt in the last 20 months). And my wonderful GP sent me to rapid diagnostic pathways for diagnosis of cancers with unspecific symptoms. I know its a wonderful thing they have done but I am just so scared. Don't know why I am making this post, it's just really hard to keep it in myself and I don't want to burden my husband with it or my family. I had a cancer scare last year with a large benign rare tumour and everyone had enough worries.
I feel like there is something sinister going in as I haven't felt this awful ever. And nothing seems to help. But then the other part of me wants yo believe it's just due to chronic tiredness - broken sleep and a lot of anxiety and stress in the last 20 months since the birth of my first born.
I am 37 and scared.
