Anxiety about what’s next

[Joewolf25]

Hello I’m feeling very anxious and could use some words of encouragement or advice. Lately I’ve been having to go to the doctor because I’ve been short of breathe and very nauseous. Almost Every thing I eat makes me nauseous. They thought it was my gallbladder but did tests and said it wasn’t that. They have taken my blood 3 times within the last week and every single time my wbc is extremely high. They are sending me to a hematologist oncologist at some point this week and I’m extremely scared. I’m only 25 I’m so scared of cancer. I have lupus already and I’ve told them every time I’ve had blood drawn that my wbc is always high but I guess they don’t think that is the reason. I have no insurance and I don’t know what to do or what is coming next. I just know I have so much anxiety I can’t hardly take it

Hi, Joewolf. I will be praying for you.

I have read that anxiety can cause wbc to rise, and so can a host of other things not related to cancer. I hope that today has been kinder to you than yesterday.

Thank you so much! My oncology appointment is Wednesday

As far as i know, young men do not die of cancer every often. Most of the time its an elderly or middle aged person. Although its hard to hear and bare, its treatable. I think its unlikely to be cancer. It sounds like symptoms of anxiety to me. Whatever it is, its treatable.
