How can I calm myself?

Question

After a few weeks of pain in my lower right abdomen, constipation alternated with diarrhoea, indigestion and heartburn - all of which I blamed on overindulgence over Christmas - I finally went to the doctor, only to be told that the pain is my ovary and she has found a mass there. Blood tests were quickly booked in. I realised these were some of the symptoms of cancer, but I don't have bloating and there's nothing wrong with my appetite. I asked about cancer and he said, ''We'll see. Not going there yet.''
His demeanour worried me. He usually smiles as I leave, but he didn't this time.
I know 'what will be, will be', but I am so nervous - I have anxiety problems anyway - and I can hardly do anything without thinking about maybe I have cancer and I keep reading stuff on the Net and scaring myself and thinking about my kid and so much....so much...

As a cancer survivor I can tell you anxiety is difficult to avoid but honestly doesn't help you health.  I advise watching your favorite comedies.  laughter produces endorphins that do a body good.

Hi so sorry about your problems, have you tried the bach rescue remedy? this is non addictive has no side affects and its very calming, maybe give this a try, you can get it online at most health stores or you can buy some local chemists.
