Referred for ct scan query epigastric mass

Hi there 

i just wondered if anyone can ease my mind at all after a while of not feeling right and then a couple of weeks ago I was sick and suffering terrible back pain ( which has been ongoing for a while lower back ) 

i went to the doctors as I felt a lump twice on lying flat but it came and disappeared again telling the doctor this she felt my tummy it was sore since the sickness I can’t eat much I’ve gone off food and I am losing weight a tough one on the weight as my thyroid was all out of sync after my little girl was born 2 years ago but these last few month it’s regulated again 

my inflammatory markers are slightly raised I just feel off not well since I’ve developed a blood spot rash on my fingers and pain in my left side higher up qnd groin 

I’m literally going out of my mind with worry I lost my mum 3 years ago to cancer I cannot bare the thought of having to leave my little girl shes my everything 

anybody had any similar experiences 

I’m due a ct scan next week ans all I’m imagining is them telling me it’s everywhere 

  • Hi ROSElou22,

    Thank you for posting. I see from your post that you are worried about some symptoms you have.    When you are worried that you may have cancer, it's easy to imagine the worst and it can be tempting to look for answers online, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. Try to take your mind off it and focus on something else for the moment and I hope next week's scan goes ok.  

    I hope this is helpful,
