Hello- I am looking for anyones thoughts on my health issue- I am 50years old, female and I will admit I suffer with health anxiety from time to time. I had been doing pretty good up until Jan/ Feb when I started to feel quite unwell in general. After a few weeks of that and a particularly scary episode of what I thought was kidney stones in April I went to doc and had lots of blood and urine tests done- Nothing showed up for either EXCEPT iron levels too low which doc was not happy about. So referred for colonoscopy and endoscopy on Tuesday 31st. I am in BITS with worry and so scared now that this will find oesophagael cancer which has spread- I have to constantly clear my throat of either phlegm or acid, have a funny taste in back of throat and most worryingly have lost weight unexpectedly (not something I would normally complain about!). I can swallow ok. I had both procedures done 3.5 years ago and both were clear (one polyp removed during colonoscopy). Could I have gotten oesophagael /throat/ stomach or bowel cancer in that time? So sorry for my rambling- I don't want to worry family and I don't know how to deal with this overwhelming fear. Thanks so much. Feemalin.
