Worried

[Julieann90]

Hello, whilst I am worrying about myself and my tongue issues, worrying about my son and his lump. My friend today told me she has to have further tests after her smear, and my partner has just bought to my attention that he has change in few of his moles. It’s all too much! I just can’t handle it

I know this feeling too well....
Just know... further tests after a pap smear are actually very common, and most of the time all is normal.
Moles changing is normal, even for benign reasons. Don’t worry.
The lump on your son.. the good thing is you have brought it up to your doctor and the doctor isn’t worried. So all is fine.
I know how HA is, trust me. I walk besides you.

Thankyou! Just get the feeling one of us is going to be seriously ill! Frightens me! Xx

Thankyou, my friend has a colposcopy if that’s what it is at the end of March, and I will also book my partner in for a check up on his moles next week with the doctor. My sons appointment is in 2 days so that will hopefully be another weight lifted... and I just can’t stop googling things for my tongue and moles

I know!!! I have even been looking up wisdom teeth, I mean is 30 too old for that? My gum behind my molar hurts and I’m just trying to think of different reasons I have these tongue sensations lol. And I’m petrified cos some of the melanoma moles online are the same as my partners! He is the sort of person I need to be, I asked him after he googled and saw melanoma if that makes worried like I get, he just brushed it off and was like na! I was freaking and said right that’s it I’m booking u in to the doctor next week! He won’t otherwise, he just leaves it!

Oh Julieann! You are also an altruistic hypochondriac! We all are on this thread otherwise we wouldn't be worrying about each other. My husband also laughs off his ailments !
You know your worrying is out of hand but probably feel you HAVE to worry!
I am worried about all three of you now.

I've had irregular paps that lead to a colposcopy and biopsy. It was fine (still don't know how I got HPV but it cleared up on its own in six months). I've had weird changing moles that looked sus and were removed and biopsied. It was fine. The biopsies weren't even painful, just kinda uncomfortable. And both cervical and skin cancers are highly curable if caught early!

Is it bad that I had to google altruistic?? Lol. And yes I are 100% right. I worry about others all the time. Even if any of my young children say they have a tummy ache, a headache, I instantly think the worst!!! I know it is out of hand, I was supposed to speak to the mental health nurse on Wednesday but has been arranged to next Wednesday! In the meantime I am diagnosing us all with cancer left right and centre!!! Sorry that I have made you worry about us, that was not my intention x

Sorry you had to go through testing but also I’m glad you found comfort in the positive results x
