Worried about cancer at 18

Hi,

My stomach hasn't been the best recently and well I have a sick feeling that comes and goes and it's really scary it seems to get better but then it isn't? It's weird. My stomach also feels a bit heavy which I saw is a symptoms of lukiema and I am just really scared of seeing Doctors etc because I just don't wanna die at 18 or be in hospital. And sometimes I don't have an appetite which comes and goes and I am worried that I have a serious condtion

  • You're still very young and you have your whole life ahead of you and there are things you want to achieve, it's very understandable but go and see your doctor and get it checked out, for peace of mind if nothing else. I don't think you're going to die at the age of 18 or be in hospital.

    We just lost our mum a few weeks ago and cremated her last week, she never smoke, drank, stayed up late or put a foot out of place but she still got lung cancer, saying that she lived her life to a good age and she lived it well but we all learned that even if you lead the most blameless of lives that you can still get cancer, what she did right though was when she had the cough that wouldn't go away, she went and got it checked out and that is all you can do in the end.

    Don't build up things that might not be there, not easy but you have your whole life ahead of you and more than likely you have nothing to worry about, good luck and take care.
