Hi 

Im sorry if this is the wrong place to post as I haven't exactly been diagnosed with cancer or anything but Im having huge aneixty that I do have it and doctors are missing something 

I have been suffering for quite a while with pain in both legs and found a small lump in my chest area I went to the doctors and they said it was a limpoma and nothing to worry about and the Pain in my legs was probably due to excercises Im now having frequent night sweats and generally feel  I'll all the time Ive also had alot of gynecology problems but got an appointment to see someone regarding this soon 

I have recently had a baby well she is 9 months old now and I had IVF treatment to conceive my partner is not understanding at all as all he says is all the tests I had through pregnancy and IVF if I had something they would have known about it and therefore he just thinks I'm making it all up and we argue constantly about it it is definitely ruining our relationship but then that leaves me with no one to talk to or get no advice from I'm really sorry for the long post but Im In such a mess and at a loss on what to do next I suppose I should talk to the doctor again but I'm there all the time and they keep telling me it's nothing I did have a full blood count done about 4 months ago and everything came bk ok but my symptoms have definitely got worse since then X

Any advice would be magic 

Thanks xxx

    Hello,

    sorry to hear you’re not feeling yourself recently and that it’s causing you worry,but you have come to the right place. While I can’t comment on your symptoms, I would say it’s best to pop to the gp so that he/she can advise you further. We all too often consult google with our symptoms and that is definatelty the wrong place to go! It will cause you further stress and worry. 

    If you’re feeling sad,worried or just in need of a chat or moan then come to this forum,everyone here is really friendly and it’s been a godsend to me recently. 

    Take care

    Hi Marie 

    Sorry for the late reply been really busy as I've just returned to work from maternity leave

    Thankyou for checking in on me ive got an appointment on Monday at the doctors it was hard to get in with work etc 

    Yes I've managed to stay of Google which is a massive improvement for me   feeling alot more positive at the minute aswell but will feel alot better once I've had this appointment . I felt like the lump on my chest had got bigger but I think because I no it's there I keep touching it and making it tender 

    Hope you are well
