Default Convinced myself that I have undiagnosed cancer

I now have pain in left shoulder neck and arm, worse at night and have has this for 6 weeks. I googled it at got braxial plexopthy. A cough started about 6 weeks ago too where there is sputum and occasional blocked nose. I therefore have connected this is the spread of cancer to the lungs from somewhere.

4 Months ago I had left leg sciatica, the pain has gone but am left with a weaker and atrophied leg.

And finally I have to have a colonoscopy next week as i have looser bowel motions for nearly 5 Months.

I have connected eveything to a cancer as yet undiagnosed but what else can it be.

Does cancer run in your family?
Is that why you think it could be that?
Does your work or environment expose you to toxins for a long period of time?

If you explore the other forum topics here on the site, you'll see lots of similar symptoms. There are so many that overlap or share related sx I couldn't even begin to name them.

Have you used any of the online symptom checkers to see what they each come up with?
I would do that and possibly leave out the obvious TOS sx as it isn't listed in the ones I've tried before.

Enter the sx your are concerned about and see what it points to, and in more than one checker then compare results.
But just because it may come up with something , it doesn't mean that it what you have , it's what should be looked into by a Dr.

Of course the more rare conditions never show up..mostly just the main line ones.

The only way to know for sure is to request a full work up from your dr.

Hi, and welcome to NT

Yeah, the "C" word is dreaded, and for a good reason.

Don't self diagnose such things.

There are lots of friendly people here who will know exactly what you're complaining about, and may have some tips to try.

Use the "SEARCH" button above to start with some of your complaints.

There just so much info here. Good info. I have you do not have cancer and you find relief for whatever it turns out to be.

There are many, many subjects and symptoms here. We do understand fear of the unknown explanations as to the whys and why nots, but then we also know something is not right.

Keep asking questions...
