I just wanted to write on here and share some positivity with you guys!! Soooo for the last 3 weeks I have been convinced that I have colon cancer, because I had constipation alternating between diarrhea. My stools were also pretty thin and I had stomach pains. Also I would have bowel movement like 3 times day which isn’t normal for me. So of course I was convinced it was something fatal! I went to my G.I doctor which didn’t seem too concerned but knows I have severe anxiety so ordered a colonoscopy just to give me some peace of mind. Well I did the colonoscopy it came back that I did have a tiny polyp which my doctor said was nothing to even worry about. He says I don’t even know if I would call it a polyp and I almost didn’t even remove it because I knew you would worry. He said I’m 100 percent sure you’re fine. Well of course I didn’t believe him and spent the next week waiting on the biopsy results on the verge of a constant panic attack. Well he called this morning and...... everything was fine! All I’m saying is trust your doctors. These people went to school for a long time and they seriously know what they’re doing. I know it’s hard and you’re anxiety gets the best of you but the truth is we are not doctors and we only cause ourselves more problems worrying the way we do. I mean now that I think about it my strange bowel movements were probably caused by my anxiety! Just wanted to share a little positivity, and hopefully help some of you guys with your HA fears!
