Oral cancer worry

Dani. Your absolutely right, there is people out there that are fighting this and I think about every single one of them and how bad I feel for thinking like this when they are going through this horrible time. I also read how long it takes people for a diagnosis and how people get fobbed off and that’s what worries me even more, I apologise for any inconvenience I have caused and how my anxiety has put pressure and stress on you guys out there. I’m not asking for anyone on here to diagnose me on any way shape or form, but if any of my symptoms resemble others then I get a better idea of wether I need to push and push for further investigations. Sorry I have troubles any of u.

Mummy of three you’ve been googling yet again otherwise you wouldn’t  even have heard of leukoplakia would you. We’ve all said before you can diagnose anything on google. So take the g p snd dentists word lije Dani says yiu need to sort you health anxiety issues out. There are people who are struggling with getting cancer treatment and getting diagnosed. Please take heart from the professional s and kerp off google you will drive yourself mad. 
enjoy your 3 children instead 

best wishes Hazel

You haven’t troubled us. There are people here worried about you. Did you give the Macmillan support line a ring like I suggested? 

Yes hazel I have been back to googling( I know I shouldn’t) it’s a very bad habit, a bit like smoking if u like, it’s very addictive. Something I find hard to really Control. 
I am trying so hard to not think the worst, the fact that all my other mouth symptoms seem to have cleared off all bar a tiny bit of tingling left over on the side of my tongue that isn’t there all day just maybe morning and evening and it is only a tiny bit suggests everything is going back to normal. And now I’m OBSESSING over the white on my tongue. I just worry I will fall into the category of not getting a quick diagnosis if there is something wrong and I do need to take everybody’s advice and try and move on. :( I think I have already driven myself mad in all honesty. 

Hi, Mummyofthree, please take heed of what your Dentist and GP have told you, they have no concerns, so you shouldn't have, take it for what it is, good news. You must get your health anxiety addressed, otherwise you will make yourself really ill. Like Beesuit and Radioactive have already said none of us can diagnose  anything, so you have to listen to the professionals. Take care look after yourself and your children.

Regards Ray.

Dani, I’m just feeling sorry myself, take no notice of me! In my head I believe that I am just being fobbed off so I guess that is just a big part of this anxiety! I have spoken to Macmillan yes, thankyou for suggesting it. They have been very helpful and I will continue to have therapy. X

Hi ray, I really am trying and I keep looking back to my appointments with them and telling myself, no they are not worried stop worrying, and I do, for many moments and then something else looks weird and I fall back into anxiety, quickly! And I don’t think reading online helps, in fact I know it doesn’t! My problem I have and I know I have because I have addressed it in my head many times, I have read up on so many different sites, forums etc that I know pretty much every symptom of every disease out there so as soon as I get something I simply have the worst case scenario! How does someone like me get themselves out of this situation, I feel no amount of therapy and no amount of tablets are going to stop me feeling this this :( 

Hi Mummyifthree, I hope my reply didn't sound harsh, it wasn't meant to be. I do realize it is very easy to say don't worry,  I do worry myself sometimes that my cancer has come back, and at times got myself into a bit of a state, but I always listen to what my consultant tells me and take reasurance from it, we have to otherwise we would go mad.

Try to have a good weekend and put your worries behind you, we are always here for a chat.

Regards Ray.

Hi Ray, no of course I didn’t but honestly I’m probably one of the few people that need harsh. In fact, my partner is quite harsh on me when I have these moments, I tend not to talk to him about it which is why I have ended up in here. He says he isn’t going to entertain it, and while that is harsh, I know why. But then I think that if it’s something serious he hasn’t bothered listening to me. But then he knows me better than I know myself sometimes. 

I truly do feel bad to be thinking like this and bothering u all that have gone through this, I purely just want to see if there is similarities in symptoms if I should worry any further and I know my anxiety is showing through A LOT! 

I hope and pray that it doesn’t come back for any of you! Again I am sorry for frustrating you all. X

You haven't frustrated anybody, we are all here to help each other if we can.
