afraied i mite have cancer,havnt been seen,dont know if i cud cope.?

Question:

Answers:
Why do you think you could have cancer?

I know someone fairly young who started to feel really ill and whose stomach swelled up enormously but was so worried about what it might be and whether he could cope that he couldn't face going to the Drs. After a short time when things were still getting worse rather than better and he still wasn't going to the drs, a friend took him to see the Dr and he got treatment. He had to have chemo but he now looks really healthy, enjoying life with his family.

It is best to find out what is wrong as soon as possible. What ever it is, the Dr will tell you, the sooner they diagnose the problem and start treament the better some things aren't too bad if caught early.

All the best.

Try not to worry about it untill you have been seen by a doctor, you will only make yourself ill. Good luck.

go to the doctor or you will worry for ever.

Don't torture yourself with what if's. Wait and see what the Doctors say and you can take it from there.
Don't forget that you won't ever need to cope alone, there is so much support out there for people diagnosed with cancer and these options will be discussed with you by your oncologist. Please, don't worry until you have something to worry for.
I wish you well.

Well you need to see a doctor before you start to worry yourself about this. This is a serious thought and to start worrying about it before you know is not good. I dont dont know what make s you believe this to be true but find help. Good luck and god bless you.

It is very hard to be told you have cancer. i was told 2 years ago that i have leukemia. But you are stronger than you think. You will have to adjust to the diagnosis if you do have cancer.
But you can do more than you think you can do. Just make sure to bring someone with you to the doctor's office. Someone you can trust and that wants to help you through this. You never know it might not even be cancer. Good Luck! God Bless!

It is better to find out sooner rather than later.
The sooner it is diagnosed the more likely the treatment is to work

you should see a doctor about this because if you don't it will bother you all the time. if you are really worried tell someone about it and take someone close to you to the doctors with you. hope it all goes well and good look

stay strong and positive give it plenty PMA and that will help both you and your family cope, I am speaking from experience as I have a malignant melanoma in my right eye.

don't know if you are male of female. However I would sugguest you see a doctor as soon as possable. I have cancer, it is remission right now, but if I had not seen the doctor when I did I probably would not be here now. Sience is a wonderful thing and they are making great progress in the eradication of some cancers. there is hope. see your doctor and God Bless You

AND why do you think that,it pisses me off when people say this when they have not got the slightys idea what they are talking about,doctor test more tests . then you will know, until then you have not got it ,so grow up matey.

The first thing to realise that the one enevitable thing about life is death. It comes to us all. So why worry about it.

Hey but cheer up there are only a few types of cancer are untreatable. Most can be cured. The sooner you see a doctor the better it will be. Take a friend with you.

God Bless

I don't know which type of cancer we're talking about here but you response is not at all unreasonable in that situation. People are naturally afraid and denial often delays presentation to a doctor.
You really need to rationalise this though or you may miss the chance to cure the cancer IF there even IS one (remember you don't know that yet do you?).
Weigh it up like this:
1 in 3 of us will get cancer at some point in our life.
Despite that, the vast majority of cancers are infact treatable and often the fear of the treatment or the possibility of incurable cancer are unwarranted.
Denial will not change the physicality if it really IS there and you may be surprised by how much CAN be done to help or even cure you today.
I treat cancers on an almost daily basis and I'm pleased to say, with excellent results. I am not different to my colleagues, I am just the same as any other doctor.
I think hiding from your fears will not make them go away and may lead to even worse realisation if you find out too late that you were right!
Get checked out by a doctor sooner rather than later, they aren't out to hurt you and may even reassure you.
I can't emphasize it more than that, get it sorted while you are able to, and if you're wrong and you don't have cance then you lose nothing by doing this but gain invaluable peace of mind.
Good luck

i know it it scary but you need to know then go from there the stress of not knowing is hard cancer runs in both my parents side of the family and i have a pap smear in a few days and i am scared and my mom is taking chemo so good luck

Don't be afraid babe,

You owe it to yourself to find out. There are lots of treatments out there to reduce and in some cases get rid of the cancer.

Just think. If you have and something could be done about it, and you don't go to GP till it's too late, how would you feel then ?

Bite the bullet, take someone as moral support and you could even find out there's nothing wrong with you.

Please please please, go to your GP I beg you !!
