    Hi and thanks for posting

    The forums aren't really somewhere where you can get a diagnosis, so we would always encourage people to go the GP even if an appointment is a few weeks away. You usually need to be examined and a history taken before any further steps are decided and if any tests are necessary. You can't compare symptoms as everyone may well have a different explanation for their symptoms.

    So do ring for an appointment, which may initially be over the phone.

    All the best

  • Hello and thanks for your post,

    I am very sorry about the symptoms that you have been experiencing. It is very easy to assume that the symptoms that you are getting may be caused by cancer but there are many other conditions that may explain how you are feeling. We can't diagnose you so do make an appointment with your GP.

    Your GP will be able to assess you maybe take some blood tests and if necessary refer you to other doctors. Make sure that you have all your questions answered. You may find it helpful to read the information written by the NHS on what to ask your GP here

    Even though it is helpful chatting to other members of the forum do remember that everyone is so different so it is difficult to compare one person with another.

    I do hope that you speak to our GP soon.

    All the Best,

    Catherine
