That’s always my worry with GPs! Everytime I take myself or my children for certain things and they brush it off with anything. Iv gone a couple of times and was told my daughter had ezcema when I said chickenpox fast forward she got infected chickenpox. Second time went in because her skin was peeling was told she had scabies but infact it was hand foot and mouth! The last one was told infected ezcema again turned out to be strep wasn’t givin the right dose of antibiotics so she suffered for 4 months of strep on her hands. Was so scared of sepsis I was told I had tonsilites wasn’t givin the right antibiotics turned out I too had strep but in the throat! They messed me around for 4months even put me on cancer pathway for cancer to be then told they weren’t giving me the right dose or strength of antibiotics so it had just kept coming back! And from alllll of this I now suffer with Health anxiety! So now when I do go gp appointments I do my research and I tell them what I want. 

sorry to hear about you but reading your thread made me really angry about the incompetence of some gps. I wish you nothing but strength and healing 

It's a good job I'm easy going & not fazed by anything or else it could have affected my mental health. I'm not built like most people it didn't upset or make me worry I just get on with my life I sleep well don't worry not depressed or any self pity.

Ive always been an inquisitive person and even though I know death will come I'm more curious how it's going to take me and what's next!

I've always been a person who has faith so I think that's why I don't worry but I like to know things!

Thanks for your kind words your right with the internet it's prudent to check your symptoms & get a second opinion if your not happy at what your GP is stating.

Cheers  

I'm really glad to read you have Faith it really stood out to me because its the most important thing in this life  without doubt everyone of us will be moving to the next life at some point and its great to know believe and feel there is a better life after this one ends ,I truly believe that ,there are other people on here with prostate cancer I'm sure this post will not go unseen and someone will be along to chat and maybe offer their advice .

I've had a fantastic life I know it will end sooner than I thought but I've got 4 children 2 boys 2 girls all grown up.

I've done my job and it's like my life has been planned out for me from day one everything I've ever wanted I got every job I went for I got,my mom always said I was just so lucky in life.

I can accept death so easily because I've lived a life to the max so I can accept death with good grace & no worries my faith has always been strong from a small child going to church Sunday school to an adult my faith has never waivered.

Thanks for your kind words I am really curious how death will come my GP says he's never met someone like myself whos accepted such bad news with a carefree attitude I can't do anything so why twist myself up.

Cheers 

I was exactly the same Sunday school from a small child ,I took myself there actually and into adulthood and its never left me either and its amazing when you feel this way its definitely a God given peace that nothing else can give ,when they told me I could have Ovarian cancer I was really shocked and had a good cry ,after going to the hospital and having all the tests they told me it wasn't cancer so I was very happy about that but I come on here to see if there are others that went through what I did to try and help with any questions and some posts just stand out .
