I have had the year from hell, it all started last November and my life has consisted of going back and forth to doctors. My GP thought me to be a hypochondriac I paid to see a private gastroenterologist yet he didn't pick up the problem. I then decided to get a private CT scan and it looks as though I had mets in my liver my lungs enlarged lymph nodes and ovarian cyst. They don't know the primary cancer site yet however the only place I haven't had scanned is my breasts. No lumps just chest pain. My symtoms started with crippling fatigue and bowel issues shortness of breath. I have to have a mammogram and an endoscopy however I don't even know what exactly is happening my GP is not telling me anything refuses to provide pain relief and the last appointment I have he honestly said "your not in pain" and "be gone with your women" as I left the office. I was literally so full of poop the CT scan couldn't really see inside my bowels. I wish one doctor had listened to me yet everyone would rather beleive me to be a hypochondriac than give me the benefit of the doubt until now. I obviously am not going to have a lot of time if I have mets on my lung and my liver whatever type of cancer this is. I am 31 and not ready to die but have to accept it is a possibility if not a sure thing. My bloods were off for a full year yet my GP still wouldn't listen. My GP surgery has tampered with my medical notes I only found this out at a and e when a doctor when through my notes with me. On the day I had the private CT scan I am listed for having a biopsy I have never had one in my life. They also diagnosed me with enlarged inguinal lymph nodes and a hernia which the CT scan picked up. I am on two week pathway to see a specialist and honestly do not know how much more I can take. If only one doctor had thought me worth testing on the NHS I wouldn't be in this awful position. I sometimes feel sucidie is the only option now.
