  • Hello and thank you for posting.

    I am sorry you are having problems with your mental health at the moment due to your worries about your symptoms. Good to hear that the CT scan and other tests have all come back as normal, but I can understand that still having these pains but no answer, is difficult.

    Do talk to your GP about your concerns for your mental health at this time, or have a look at what MIND the mental health charity can offer on their website about anxiety which may be helpful.

    It is important to try and remember that lots of things can go on in the body that aren't cancer. But tests and scans are needed to find whatever is the cause. It can just be hard with all the waiting for answers.

    Take care and try not to do too much internet searching. It can only be the doctor who can assess and work out what is going on.

    Take care and if you find it helpful talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm,Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
