Hello all I am sure you all know my symptoms and whats been going on with me by now. I know I havent
been diagnosed with cancer but I am sure I do have it there is so many symptoms that I am having, and it seems that with these symptoms being this intense, and this much it has to be stage 4. I dont know if this is related to my gastric problems or not but I have been coughing up mucus with blood in it. do you all think this is related? I keep thinking about the doctors telling me there is nothing they can do and not giving me treatment, and I keep seeing my death and all this stuff keeps running through my head. I am about to have a complete nervoius break down. I have lost all hopejimmy7777

Jimmy, the best thing you can do is see a doctor and get a professional diagnostic. I can't recall what you have done so far (My memory stinks right now). If you have seen a doctor and don't feel satisfied with their answer, go see another. If you have not seen a doctor, go see one.

We can try to reassure you here, but we just don't know, and neither will you until you get the doctors diagnostics.

Best case, it is nothing and the doctor calms your fears. Worst case. It is something, but at least you'll know what it is and what you need to do.

You appear determined not to believe the evidence presented to you.

If cancer has not been found, why continue to torture yourself? As pointed out before, your symptoms could be those of many other disorders, some of which are psychological. Psychiatry may be more beneficial in resolving your problem than treatment for a non-existent cancer.

We are not doctors permitted to diagnose, and no-one can truly diagnose from the net.

Jimmy,
I agree with REB and Vee. The help you need is not on this forum. Only professional medical experts will be able to help you with your physical problems and get over your nervousness/anxiety/worries.
