I have been diagnosed with anxiety. Since December, I have been concerned with pancreatic cancer. I have had many tests. Should they alleviate my fears? It started with weight loss. I have lost around 30 pounds in 4 months. My wife assures me it's from anxiety, stress, and not eating nearly as much as I had in the past. I also had abdominal pain which led to the removal of my gallbladder. This helped some with the pain issues. Now I have frequent belching over 100 times per day and nausea. I also just feel "off", as it were. I have had a CT without contrast of the abdomen, a CT with contrast of the abdomen, an ultrasound that showed the pancreas, a lot of blood work, and tumor markers. All of these have been negative. The pancreas was noted as normal on the scans. A doctor attempted to order a pancreatic protocol CT scan to give me peace of mind, but my insurance denied the procedure, citing the normal CT scan from December. Should all of the tests be enough to alleviate my fear? I even had an oncologist tell me that I did not have cancer. I am currently seeing a psychiatrist and therapist as well. Thanks.

If you had all that done and it was all negative then your okay :) I have health anxiety so i can relate to the worry.  I am a hot mess myself, I found a mass in my upper abdomen almost 2 months ago but because my insurance changed my primary care dr I had to be seen as a new patient and they gave me an appointment for May 1st so almost 2 whole months. I called everyday for a sooner appt but they claimed they had no space. I had a ct scan set to but it was cancelled day before cause insurance didnt approve it yet so I made an appt for today and my mom paid for it,  now get to wait for results. Its crazy last night I went to the ER and asked them to do the ct scan, they agreed and put it on a disc to give my dr after telling me it was clear which was a relief buttt guess what? They did a chest ct!!! Not the abdomen like my dr wanted so I got dosed with radiation for nothing!!!!!  All I can do at this point is pray. Im scared like you wouldn't believe cause this thing has gotten bigger then when I first discovered it. Having anxiety doesnt help.
