So I had agreat little weekend vacation and then on Sunday started getting intense pain in my abdomen and thought it was apensositise they ran tests and did scans and they found a 15mm growth on my appendix and intestine, I'm currently waiting in a surgons office to get a consult and I'm freaking out what if its cancer what if it's something else that's deadly I'm freaking out and don't know what to do. My mind won't get off the subject and keeps throwing thoughts into my head I'm not in a position to afford this but it's get it checked out and or removed or what not or live with the extreme pain it's causing me but my mind keeps going to cancer and death and what my life will be like and it's all I can think about

Hi skjones,

I have been there, except I thought is was breast cancer. Doctors made me do numerous test and it was nothing in the end. Of course, during that time of waiting, I thought it was cancer and that it was the end of my life. Our minds take us to the worst case scenarios. Please update us when you get results, but I am sure it is nothing.
