Sorry for going on and on I just didn’t no which way to turn or who to speak to 

Thankyou xx

  • Hi Masonmoo. 

    Thank you for posting and I’m sorry you’ve had these pains. You’ve mentioned in a previous post that a specialist said you may have health anxiety. Unfortunately, this is not something that we can help you with on Cancer Chat, so I’d suggest you look at Anxiety UK, which has some useful resources.

    I hope you are able to get the help you are looking for elsewhere. 

    Best wishes,
