Hi everybody
I'm a 14 year old boy who has been suffering from health anxiety for the last 5-6 months, back in August i notice a lump down below which really scared me. I was convinced i had cancer. I asked Dr google and it pointed straight at cancer, i told my parents and they got me an appointment at the doctors. The doctor said it was common for boys at my age to have lumps down below and he was pretty certain it was not cancer. I felt a lot better but then in september i started to worry again. I was pretty sure that i had colon cancer. I kept feeling the urge to have a bowel movement, when i get to the bathroom nothing comes out ( sorry for to much information ) I was also very gassy. I told my mum but she said there is nothing wrong with me. I begged for an appointment but she said its probably nothing. I eventually did get an appointment . just few weeks before christmas i went to the docters and i told the doctors about my fears about cancer. I told him about my signs and he said that its probably IBS or anxiety. He said that colon cancer is rare in teens. I felt better again but around new years day i started to noticed that my body temperature has changed. my skin is really hot. I got a thermometer ( brand new ) and took my temperature and i said it was normal. i kept taken my temperature everyday but it says my temperature is normal. I felt fine but i knew something was wrong. I went straight back to google and it was said cancer. My body temperature is more warmer than usual. This has been going on for 2 months now. I keep asking my mum to feel my forehead but she says i don't have a fever. I don't believe her and i think she is just saying that to try not to scare me . Ever since August i have just been fearing the worse and just keep thinking that i am gonna die and my life is over. I am a healthy 14 year old who has never had any problems with my health neither has my mum and dad ever had problems with their health. I used to enjoy life alot but now, everyday is so hard for me.
