I'm sorry to hear you're still having health anxiety issues Hough.

I noticed that you've posted numerous times over the last few weeks including 5 times in our Ask The Nurses area. The nurses have explained on each occasion that only your doctor can diagnose you and I can see from your last post that your GP is aware of your symptoms and has already referred you for tests which is great but you won’t find any answers on a cancer forum and all it is doing is fuelling your anxiety.

We do acknowledge that you are dealing with very real symptoms and have severe health anxiety issues which do need addressing. If you can it would be a good idea to open up to your GP about your health anxieties and to try and get help for that. You will find that many of the symptoms you are experiencing can be exacerbated when you are anxious.

The NHS have some helpful information about health anxiety here or you could try the charity Anxiety UK who have a helpline where you can speak to someone who is experienced in dealing with these issues.

In the meantime try to stay away from cancer forums and googling your symptoms if you can as it is only making you more anxious.

Kind regards,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
