So yesterday 5/23 I had a doctor’s appointment, and so far I has been able to cope with anxiety. So last August I went to the fertility specialist and had some blood drawn, can’t remember what is was but I had high levels of something but I don’t remember the fertility specialist saying (prolactin) at all. So at the doctors office I mention about the results he looks at me and say oh if you have high levels of prolactin it could be a tumor. As soon as he says this I literally had to keep myself together and not pass out. My thing is why didn’t he do blood work first before sending me for a CT. I am scared as hell can’t sleep, anxiety up to the roof, feels like I am taking a trip down anxiety lane again off of this.

I know probably nothing I’m going to say will calm you down but surely if this was that serious why didnt they mention it when you went to see the fertility specialist?? it’s been on your record 10 months and no one has told you, if it does happen to be something serious then that is disgusting and I would take it further but apart from that your doctor is soooooo out of order saying that to you without definitive proof. no one should mention that until they have done all the relevant tests. where are they doing your ct scan which part of your body?? have you been ill or anything? I’m pretty sure you would be feeling ■■■■ after 10 months and know if you had a tumour. take care of yourself I’m sure you will be fine. big hugs xx

that is a sign of the type of doctor you want to avoid! THEY say things that scare the patient when there’s no actual proof of what he saying! I know it’s difficult, but try to relax. I have had that happen with my grandson. They told me that his back pain and the test they’ve done most likely indicate a tumor. I froze right there and could not move. I was literally in shock. It turned out there was no tumor it was a very bad muscle pull. I will never go to the doctor again. So please try not to freak out because it could be nothing at all. Take care
Hi Lisa, the same thing you said is what my sister said. I was like WTH is he talking about, I cancelled on his ass quick and said I was not going back there. To begin with he was nonchalant so that was a red flag for me. Thanks again Lisa, you made me feel so much better.
Thanks Jan, I really do not plan on going back to see that doctor again. I questioned myself like isn’t he supposed to run test first before telling me something like that. It’s crazy how doctors now put people in panic mode. I’ll just leave it in God’s hand. Again thanks and I really appreciate it.

glad your not going back to that dr he doesn’t deserve to call himself that, its discusting treating you like that and scarying you to death. I’m pretty sure you will be fine, I remember a dr telling my sister that he thought she had lung cancer, she was past herself . needless to say she didnt. on the other hand I once went for a scan on my kidneys and at the same time she saw something on my liver that was suspicious . she never said a word about it but just said she couldn’t see much and was sending me to 1 of her colleagues who could do a better test. it wasn’t until I got there that she told me and said that she hadn’t wanted to frighten me. anyway everything was ok as I’m sure you will be. hope you’re not feeling as anxious xx
Hi Lisa, thanks and I am trying to stay calm as I can. The fact that he mentioned tumor is what made my anxiety go crazy. I have been to many doctor’s for different feelings and sensations anxiety has brought on for 4yrs now, but this was a smack in the face. Earlier this year I already had a scare with cysts in my breast now this. I think what pissed me off more was why he had to mention tumor instead of running test. It’s also good that you and your sister are well. Leave it up to these new doctors diagnosing and scaring the crap out of people.
