Lung cancer

[defmunel]

Hey guys. I'm just so dang paranoid...worried...

I've posted before about acid reflux, and thats probably what it is, yet I cannot get the thoughts that it might be lung cancer out of my head.

Symptoms are:

Bloody mucous

Burning sensation in chest and throat (not always, mostly at night)

Constant dry cough

Weakness in leg muscles (mostly when I pay attention to my legs)

Hoarseness in voice

Please help me be rational here! I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. I'm pregnant and worried sick that I've got a terminal illness. Ive been to the ENT and he scoped my throat. Said its red, inflamed, and swollen. I told him I'm worried that it's cancer. His words "I can't be sure of many things, but I am sure of this..it's not cancer.".

Ok, I believe him that it's not throat cancer, but what about lung?

Of course I googled lung cancer and would you believe, I've got a lot of they symptoms. If I go to my gp, she'll just say, you don't have lung cancer, and I can't do any tests like X-ray or MRI because your pregnant.

So I just sit in my thoughts. It sucks! I still force myself to be busy, but it doesnt take away the worry. I havent told anyone about my worry. Not even my husband.

Help me?

When I had bloody mucus and was scared of lung cancer, I went to the minor emergency (after hours clinic) and they did an X-ray of my cheat and was told my lungs looked fine. I understand though since you're pregnant, you cannot do this.

What did they tell you it was?

What did they tell you it was?

They literally had no clue... They said said maybe I ate something that scratched my throat even though I do not remember anything like that... They even did a strep test and that was negative too
