Worried about symptoms

Hi , I'm not quite sure  why I am writing on here, or shud I say what I'm hoping for . I am just driving myself into a very dark place at the minute . I dnt want to offend anyone as I have not been diagnosed with cancer ... yet ! I have lost alot off weight in a short space off time .. 6 pounds this week . I was 13.5 kg yesterday . About 2 months ago I was alot heavier .closer to 15 stone, I havnt tried loosing this weight , it has just happened . Iv been to gp 3 times in last 2 week , they've been on the ball to be fair , took bloods n sent me for a chest x ray the first visit. Witch both seem good , apart from liver function , witch still isnt bad but needs keeping an eye on . I'm going back to have bloods done next week to check for celiac desease , I have convinced myself something isnt right , the weightloss is so significant , despite the doctor saying going on all the things they have done he is sure nothing sinister is going on Something would off shown up ,Surely I cant loose this weight thru stress n getting worked up ... obviously google doesn't help,  i have constantly been looking at signs n symptoms off all cancers n relating them to myself, n seem to have settled on pancreatic cancer as it isnt easily detected n I have symptoms such as bloateddness n floating stools  . My mind just wont stop , I cant sleep properly. Me and my partner have just bought our first home this year , n our boy is 1 in october . N I cant stop thinking that I wnt see my boy grow up and how will my partner cope financially . She tells me I am overthinking this n letting it take over my life , she is right ! But icant stop . I dnt no what I need but thought writing on here myt give me something to help . Thanks for reading 

  • Hello Frank031089,

    It's quite possible that stress is causing a loss of appetite, hence the weightloss, so it might be a good idea to speak to your doctor about stress. When you are worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers on Google or an online forum, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better.  And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor.  

    I hope this is helpful and that your upcoming tests go ok.
