Hello Violetbeau

I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling so anxious ahead of your upcoming tests. I think most of our members here will understand how difficult waiting for tests and results can be. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious. 

It sounds as if your new Consultant is being very thorough in arranging additional tests and this may simply be because you are a new patient to her and she wants to ensure that she has a full picture of things. However, it's natural that you're worried. 

You mention that the last scan is booked for December 2nd. Do you have a follow-up appointment arranged or has she said how long you may have to wait for the results? Hopefully, it won't be too long and the results will mean that she can give you some reassurance. 

In the meantime if you'd like to talk through some of your concerns with one of our team of nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. 

I hope that you have some news soon. 

Best wishes,

Thank you so much Jenn I think there are concerns but whether they are with my bloods or mri I don't know when I received the copy of the cons letter there was no mention of looking for cancer and her Secretary confirmed this however I feel anxious because it's 2 weeks after my mri and I keep thinking about the 2week wait and I have the very worst cancer phobia you have ever known so late in the night I just Google and cry I'm so sorry I know there are so many ill people on these pages but I'm so afraid it's all I can think of

How did your results go? I've got benign tumours on the liver over the past 11 months I've had three MRI and this one confirmed very little change I'm very scared x

Hi Bethahite727

Not had fibroscan yet but there were concerns about my Mri so pray to God it's not cancer i am so very very anxious x 

Hi all today is d day for fibroscan to say I'm scared is an understatement can't sleep at all one positive most of blood tests in normal range will keep you posted

Hi Skovby

Thanks for your kindness fibroscan went ok decent result just need to know how Mri went hope you get some news soon keep me posted God bless

Hi folks

I haven't had any formal results yet but I'm told I will be receiving a letter  by Secretary consultant said she'd only write if abnormal results terrified a month tomorrow since mri and two weeks since fibroscan what if it's cancer terrified again

I'm exactly the same as you. 

About the cancer phobia. I have extreme health anxiety it's debilitating. 

People tell me to be positive. 

I try so hard then I go from positive 

to negative and so forth.

I google and worry myself. And when I read up about what I'm being watched for its scarey.

I just wanted to say your not on your own at all.

I'm living in constant fear. Ive been terrified of cancer simce a young age but at around 24 my obsession really went into over drive. I'm 44 now and cant see an end to my ocd , anxiety , phobia. Call what you want it ruins my life .
