I said no to the ct scan!

[eddarun]

I showed up this morning to have my ct scan.  But at the last minute I decided not to go through with it.  My symtoms are still there but Im not going to let my anxiery ruin my body!  In gonna take it easy for at least one week, relax and stay away from the doctors office.  If I get better and my symtoms go away Ill be SO glad I didnt have the scan.  Because I know once Ive done it I will NEVER stop fearing cancer!  Hope I did the right thing here

You did the right thing. Good job!

Good for you!  You're giving yourself some power here - not the anxiety!

So glad you did. I swear i had the same symptoms and it was stress. Eat healthy, exercise and do anything you can to relax.

   Very impressed, eddarun!  I think you made the right choice... I really couldn't think of anything (aside from maybe Crohn's disease, which I think can be diagnosed by colonoscopy and/or blood test, too) the CT scan would find that your other tests wouldn't have already identified.  And hey... if the problems don't go away, you can always go back and get it. (But I think they'll go away... they sound like classic IBS.)
