CT Scan & Persistent Anxiety

Hi I done the same as you googling symptoms and life expectancy and I should be deaf me to. It’s the worst thing u can do it put fear into you sole and the words will stay in your brain all day and go over and over! It does sound like u are having panic attacks have you spoke tO your gp? I wish you the best of luck for you scan ans bloods take care love natalie xxxx

Hi Ms Muggle. Hi Jan. That proves Dr Google gets it wrong, you've just said you should've been gone years ago! LOL

I'm sure the chest pains are anxiety, I thought you'd got something from your GP to help?

As for the colonoscopy, I've not had one but hubby had one and a gastroscopy on Friday. Seems all clear, another delightful set of full colour photos to add to the album.

My GP's just referring me for CT scan and ECG for shortness of breath and chest pain. My blood tests showed elevated markers in inflammation levels which could be start of arthritis? Hopefully that'll explain my excruciating shoulder pains I've been getting.

So you're not alone in this, we're all going through the wringer!

Hugs, Barb x

Ladies,

I, clearly, was really tired when I posted my concerns last evening. Whatever this is, it is. I can't help but be aware of the malignancy removed from each lung making this metastatic. So, separating the breathlessness from anxiety or something organic concerns me.

Hi Jan, Don't you dare apologize on this forum for "going on" !   This is just the place for it because we all understand!.  Yes, googling is dangerous.  I first came on this forum having read a very pessimistic prognosis for LVSI.  There was a very wise lady here who explained that many of the statistics need to be interpreted with care.  Not only are they frequently out of date and not representative of the latest treatments but also are assembled from reports across a large population of people.  But every person in the study is an individual and could have results very different from that single overall figure quoted.    This is borne out by the number of people on the forums who describe themselves as well past their sell by date!  From the sound of it, your regime on Megace has worked well for you although I know it hasn't always been easy.  As other have said, anxiety makes things worse and is difficult to deal with particularly if your doctor is  hard to contact. or not sympathetic

I have my fingers crossed that your current symptoms are innocent but whatever happens, do have a "moan" to us if it helps!

Hi Anne,

Thank you for caring. To be honest, I just don't care anymore. Whatever happens, happens.

love and thanks,

Ms Muggles (Jan)   xx
