Hi all,
I am new to this, so not sure what to say. I received the news that after a chest x-ray for another medical problem I have, a shadow has been found on the x-ray. I am now wiring to have a CT scan next week. I am terrified I have cancer, although I know there could be other reasons for the shadow. But I have built it up and and now convinvpced that is it. I am in my early 40s and a non-smoker, I haven’t told any of my family or friends about the letter. I am too scared to verbalise my worries, I keep crying on my own. I have also hurt my back this week, so was feeling pretty low before I got this letter. I am unsure how I am going to get through the next week or more. Any support or anyone been in a similar position with advice would be greatly appreciated.
