Hello Lauralou2 and thanks for posting,

I think health worries can sometimes get the better of people who have anxiety, but having said that, cancer seems to be a common worry for a lot of people who have new and/or unexplained symtpoms and feel ill. People often look to the internet to try and work out what might be the matter, but this can be very misleading and cause unnecessary worry. Our advice is almost always to talk to your doctor, be direct about what is worrying you and persistent if symptoms don't settle down. 

The thing to bear in mind is that most symptoms can occur for several reasons and although cancer might sometimes be a possibility, it often isn't the most likely explanation in most situations.

I think it would be a good idea to talk things over with your GP to let them know how dreadful you are feeling and ask what the constant nausea and bloating are about. This isn't normal but can occur for a number of reasons. Ask if the gallstone and fatty liver disease are contributing to how you feeling. 

You mentioned that no one was concerned about the fatty liver disease. I am not sure if you have read up on this condition, if not, the British Liver Trust has some information about it at this link and so does the NHS. The usual advice is to adopt a healthy lifestyle to stop it from getting any worse, but you may already know about this.  

I hope your GP can give you some answers. 

Best wishes,

Julia

I'm so sorry your anxiety is that bad.

I am just at the stage where they want to investigate the lump with possible mammogram/biopsy/ultrasound.

Best of luck for next week.

All the very best to you too x
