I started taking a supplement called Sam e. I thought I would go to the doctor for a checkup in case things went weird. Well my blood test came back normal, but with one item on the high end of normal. Dr said no worries it is in range. Then I lost a small chunk of weight. I should explain I also had lower back pain I hadn't had before. Panic set in. According to what I read online these can all be symptoms of cancer. Then I started reasearching, going crazy, went to the Dr's explained my fear. Gave prednisone for my back. Now I am convinced that all my stomach problems, odd stools, pains, face flushes are all forms of some cancer. In operable of course. I have all but buried myself. Convinced I won't see my kids grow, that I will die soon That 43 is my last year on earth.
I am paralyzed.

I have ovarian cancer and had no symptoms. Everyone keeps asking if im in pain or had this or that. Nope. The only thing i have is a HUGE thing sitting on my right ovary. Sure, i may get twinges to remind me an alien is inside me, but nothing that makes me go " oh crap". My cancer is only on my ovary, it has not spread and is contained. Surgery may cause it to spread because it was described to me " it would be like popping a water balloon and hoping everything doesnt spill everywhere ".

If youre worried, go see an oncologist and ask for testing. CT/MRI/CA125. All my tests come back fine except my CA125 is high. My MRI/CT clearly show my cancer, theres no guessing.

hypochondria sounds like an appropriate diagnose...

It's sounds like some sort of an obsessional anxiety. Go see a therapist. It will not be new to him or her.
