Lately, I’ve been feeling that I have developed cancer, somewhere in my body. I read the symptoms that women need to know, and I answered Y to: Pelvic pain, lower back pain, persistant stomach upset, unintentional weight loss and fatigue. I’ve had 2 CBC blood test.. (CBC = Complete Blood Count.) I would say each blood test, is about 4 months apart. My husband has been great, trying to be
supportive, and also told me that if I did have cancer, it would,
definitely show up in a blood test. We asked my doctor that same question, and he did agree with the fact cancer would be seen in a blood test. However, I don’t care about blood tests too much. I know what symptoms I’ve been experiencing and I don’t like how many I actually answered yes to. I do experience paranoia, as did my mother, and her mother. So I assume it is hereditary. Oh well. Life can suck sometimes!
Suzy, you know your body better than anyone else so don’t settle for “you are ok”.
