So went to the doctors after months if thinking something was wrong but with covid and 2 children with illness I left going then I got the courage to go and doctor said she will send me on fast track should be seen in next 2 weeks as it could be cancer but I new that before going as I looked up everything wrong but as its down below I was embarrassed to go now I'm so scared keep crying when I am on my own and I guess I'm thinking I should grow up as I haven't been diagnosed yet is it this normal to be such a reck my hubby had cancer few years ago and hes good now so I just don't no why I'm so bad

    Hi mummy4help im probably not going to be much help but I wanted to let you know you arent alone in your reaction. A year ago (exactly!) I was told I have a genital wart and due to covid struggled to get seen as the children were home (no partner) and now ive been told it maybe some thing more sinister.

    A have an appt tonight with a sexual health consultant who decides if I need an urgent referral and since finding out ive been a mess. I have 2 different anxiety disorders so struggle anyway but this week has been awful. 

    Ive also since found worse lump so whilst I'm fully expecting the referral im still absolutely terrified. And obviously Google didn't help (we all do it even though we know we shouldn't!!)

    Anyway ive wittered on but wanted you to know you arent the only person to react the way you have and if you wanted to message to chat you are more than welcome as I understand your fears.

    Hi, I have come to learn these  feelings are normal, Feb was diagnosed endometrial cancer after just one small bleed, panic fear tears anxiety I got them all, is worry alone could have killed me I needn’t have worried about the cancer. A hysterectomy and 4 radiotherapy treatments later and I’m still here. In 4 months what seemed like end of world started to get better. Yes I still have anxiety and feel like life won’t be the same but it’s doable. The waiting is the worst and messes with your head, but you can do this. I’m on a Facebook page peaches so many ladies that can’t help medically but can share experiences
