So ive had a few good days been out on my own which is an achievement and ive felt amazing. So i stupidly got reading about cervical cancer. And have the majority of the advanced cancer symptoms!! Swelling in 1 leg , back pain on one side tiredness , no appetite. Had bleeding problems but they have now sorted them selfs out. I dont have bleeding after sex never have but i have also never had a smear test as when i was called for 1 i was pregnant. Im now sat here with this terrible fear in my tummy that im now going to die of cancer!!! Im so close to tears its unreal. Im looking at my children thinking im never going to see them grow up :'( :'( . What do i do? Im so terrorfied.
Hey Hun tryed messaging you but don't know if you are getting them it's says you have read the message but no reply!?! Did u not get called for a smear test after you had your children iv just got mine but can't go for it cos like you had bleeding problems caused by the pill, have you been to doctors about your leg? Xx
Bloody messages nope not shown how are u? And nope not been re called!! Been backwards and forwards to dr.s about my leg had blood tests and xrays on back and leg and all were clear. I cannot stop freaking out im so scared some of the symptoms like no energy and appetite ive had for months when my anxiety started i have lost weight but i havent been eating bcoz of the anxiety . Its just when i read that advanced symtoms are 1 swollen leg and back pain are a signs i went into a panic attack!! Im shaking minds going 10 to the dozen and im so snappy im terrorfied!!!
Stupid thing wonder why it's not working! I'm good thank you huni, I was like that until I started taking my medication it's started to make me feel better, I do get pains though in my chest and back still and my appetite is not 100% but getting there you should of been called for a smear test 3 months after you have a baby, you will be fine and it's your mind taking over and thinking the worst I do it sometimes and partner has to reassure me, xx
I just wish i hadnt googled!!!! Argh!!! And nope not been called since 2012 when i was pregnant , Not recieved nothing atall. I guess i shod book 1 but then i will be scared waiting for the results . I really thought i was getting somewhere with this anxiety really did xx
Yeah I'd ring them up hun to book one in, i was due when I found out I got pregnant but couldn't have it, u had one before? No don't google lol it brings the worst possible diagnosis, have you not took your tablets still? Xxx
Google is the curse of health anxiety, having said that if its prompted you to have a smear test then you should go. N
Hi Stacey,
Tiredness is a symptom of all cancers-I'm not trying to worry you but this was something I was afraid of too! But when my anxiety isn't as high I'm not as tired!
Your tiredness is probably just from being so anxious all the time!! It is so exhausting for your body to be constantly worried, and children are also very tiring, chances are your fatigue is no more severe than anybody else's, you are just concentrating on it like I do!
The main symptom of cervical cancer is bleeding after sex, I'm almost certain you would hve this symptom if you had cervical cancer so I wouldn't worry! Your leg is probably related to something else!
Why don't you call your doctors and get your smear to put your mind at rest?
I know it's stressful waiting for the results but I had mine the other day and the nurse has a look at your cervix walls and tells you whether thy look normal on the day, so that should put your mind at ease a little bit.
Good luck xx
Thanks for all your replys . I had my 4th child 9 months ago . And had this on and off back pain for years and the burning sensations . My dr. Has told me its a trapped nerve in my back as i also have pain in my bum , back and all down my leg. Ive never had bleeding after sex although ive had bleeding problems after the birth of my 3rd and 4th children but they have sorted out now. No1 has told me y my leg is swollen though it ranges from half a centimeter to 2 depending on who measures. I will get a smear done asap though xx
Ive never had 1 kirsty no i was 25 when i was first called for 1 :-(. Google is terrible im not going to google anymore going to get my partner to block it lol . And i havent taken them yet as i had started to feel really great after i got all my blood results thought id turned a corner . Hoping i can pull it back though and stop this before i turn bad again. I could just be tired because of the diazpam although im on only 1 mg now i also wake up at 4:30 every morning but do go to sleep around 9pm xx
Yeah defo book it in hun, haha yeah get him to block it, you will have good days and bad days, I still wake up really early aswell and then can't get back to sleep, I hope you start to feel better soon xx
Thanks hun glad u are starting to feel better too . And yup im the same awake at 4:30 and no matter how hard i try just cannot get back to sleep!!! Somethings deffo gotta be done about the googleing!! Cannot keep carrying on diagnosing myself everytime !! Its so frustrating im sick of it!!!! Just wanna be how i was before . Xx
Thank you Hun I'm glad too think if I wasn't on these tablets I'd of lost plot by now, when i first started with anxiety I used to Google and came up with all sorts iv learnt not to do it now, yeah I know hun I'm same iv hated being like this xx
Yup google is very very bad. I have a smear test booked for monday at 2:30 am terrorfied!!!! Dont know how im gonna cope with the wait i really dont am already thinking the worst i dont think ive ever been so scared in my life :'( xx
You will be fine hun it only takes a few seconds and we have been through worse giving birth haha least when you have the results your mind will be put at rest, I need to book mine in no chance at this rate, xxx
