I'm Scared
I'm really scared.
Everyone I talk to says (including Nursey daughters) that people who have cancer have SYMPTOMS. I don't. then what the hell are those things in my lungs.
The new doctor thinks I might have cancer somewhere else that moved to my lungs. But he is not sure. this will be a long week waiting to have the biopsy, and then waiting to have the results.
And, I still haven't been able to quit smoking. What is up with that. The stress? Okay, but then why do other people seem to not have problems.
I don't feel any different than I did 20 years ago. I am a bit more tired. By bit more tired I mean, I get up at 7 am everday, and end up going to bed to sleep at about somewhere between 11 and midnight. I am on the go pretty much all day long, running after kids, cleaning, laundry, errands, cooking, etc.
And I take on average, one nap a week if I am lucky.
So, tired? Yes. But not as symptomatology. As more like I am 52 years old and raising two little kids. I have night sweats but I have day sweats too. Hey, I am post menopausal. You'll have that.
I have a cough, it is the same one I have had for over 20 years. No blood.
No bowel changes (I know, too much info there..sorry)
No nausea. No pain. No symptoms.
So, does anyone know anyone who had a cancer with NO SYMPTOMS whatsoever.? I need to know this. NO pains anywhere, no loss of weight, no loss of energy, no headaches other than the usual ones we get, no nothing at all?
Feedback would be appreciated.

I sure wish I had better feedback to give...
- my hubby's Aunt passed just a year ago of lung cancer, but I don't know what her symptoms were...she did have fluid around her lungs and I think around her heart too...she never smoked a day in her life.
I'm glad you're getting checked out - keep calling them, keep bugging them, the squeaky wheel really does get the oil...tell them your not fooling around you want answers and you want to see a specialist!
I'm praying for you - and for the doctors
(((hugs))))

hubby didn't have "symptoms" until he developed spider veins on his chest and back...supposedly, the oxygen diverted itself to unblocked veins. i, too, am praying that they are wrong...xoxoxox

It is totally untrue that you have symptoms, most people that have cancer have no symptoms at all.
I am praying that you do not have it.
