Feel really scared

[Missykay]

I had a phonecall from my Doc today about the results of some blood test. I think they did these for my hair falling out for like over a year now. These results could indicate cancer she said not always the case as if you have fibroid, Endometriosis it could show high. Doc will send me for a scan to be booked in ASAP. I am worried it is cancer and its too late as been docs so many times for Fibromyalgia and this could have been picked up earlier. I can't tell anyone and don't want to stress them out but it's playing on my mind on rewind and play and I can't sleep and scared I am going to die.I have been having these weird feeling like end of the world and I am going to die and I feel thus has been confirmed by this phonecall. Don't know what to do ☹️😓

It could be many different things, one always thinks of the worst. Prayers

This is so, so scary and I'm sorry you're going through this. My husband was initially diagnosed with arthritis, which turned out to the cancer and the waiting was the hardest part. The waiting for results. Once we had the final diagnosis, there was the "shit, cancer" bit and absolute anger and fury about being misdiagnosed for so long (still an issue) BUT the cancer care team came up with a battle plan and we were super focused on getting through that.

I guess what I'm trying to say is is that whatever it is, you can and will handle it. The worst thing is the fear and the not knowing.

With my Fibromyalgia, IBS and so many other conditions on top plus my home environment is real bad with my evil neighbours taking me to court over stupid things as he is trying to extort money out of me anyway he can. I can't sleep as he wakes up real early and makes a racket. I just feel like I am surrounded by stress and this is just adding to it all. I went to the docs for falling hair and memory problems and these signs were not taken seriously and because of that If I have anything it may ends up being caught to late .

Missykay, Stress and Stress alone could be the cause of losing hair.

Being prone to anxiety it is easy to have our mind blow things up out of proportion and assume the worst. It's also normal right now to have some fear about the tests and what you are going through so try to honor that and allow yourself to feel it. By denying or trying to suppress it you just make the anxiety worse so allow yourself to feel the fear, maybe write it out if that helps. Also try to rationalize with yourself that the results could be ok and you will be fine and can deal with whatever happens to you in order to try calming yourself down. It's the uncertainty of not knowing that is causing a lot of your anxiety and I know it's hard. My best to you and fingers crossed for you.

Is the hair falling out the only side effect? My hair is also falling out, but I am not scheduled for blood tests until March of 2023. Message me.
