My partners cough

I’m so worried, my partner has had a cough for some time,

he has finally gone to the Drs, had blood tests chest x ray and now being referred for a ct scan and breathing test.

i suffer with severe health anxiety after losing my dad to cancer years ago.

it never leaves me, im so worried my partner has something serious.

i know I shouldn’t look online but unfortunately i do, and seeing this like lung cancer is terrifying me.

My partner takes it all in his stride bless him, he says he will worry when he knows he has something to worry about.

i know im looking for reassurance here, and that we’ve got to go through this process.

i always fear the worst 

  • I think some people are born with an extra "worry" gene and can't help think of the worst in a given situation. I don't seem to have a worry gene at all so despite having had 2 types of cancer, a stage 4 diagnosis and  several procedures including ablation last week , it's just not in me worry. I know my husband worries all the time. I don't think this is a particularly helpful post for you but maybe try to limit your worry sessions to a certain length of time and then do/think about something else?

    I do very much hope you're worrying in vain!
