I am a 71 year old guy, and in 2004 at the age of 61, I was diagnosed with bowel cancer, I underwent an intensive course of radio therapy and for quite a long time after that, I felt as though I had been to hell and back coping with the side effects of the radio therapy, despite the treatment appearing to have been successful, I said I would never again want to go through that experience. |

well logically ignoring it and worrying what it might be isnt going to make it go away . |

I Have had 2 major ops... Heart Bypass & Whipples.... Both picked up on annual review......Both detected early... So. I know exactly where you are at with not wanting to go there again... Found & treated early makes for a more successful outcome. Please go discuss it with your doctor....... |

Its no good anyone telling you about experiences of their hernia,,,,they could be telling you symptoms and treatments and how they coped and you taking this infomation as a fact to your own problem, which could be un-related............Very unwise imo. |

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it, thanks, I have neither any close friends or family that I can talk this over with, very much a recluse these days. My visits to the doctors over the past 20 years, with the except of those for my flu jabs and diabetes check ups, have resulted in 3 major operations and an intensive course of radio therapy, on those occasions - I did have family and friends to support me. |

I will just add my twopennorth, please see your doctor sooner than the apptmt so he can see what's what. It will get you out of the house for one thing and you might see someone to chat to on the way or in the surgery, to while away a few minutes. Then you will see your doc and get your mind set at rest as to what the problem is, no point hanging on and perhaps or perhaps not mentioning it if it's gone down or away by the 2nd Sept. Apptmts aren't very long and it would be best to treat this to a separate one of it's own. Your apptmts on the 2nd can be all about your diabetes then which will help the doctor stick to his time schedule and not have to hurry the check up. |

I agree 100% with everybody else. Worrying never does anybody any good unless you act on the worrying by going to the doc ASAP. |

Sounds like an Hiatus hernia. Really simple to operate on. And the sooner you get to the doctors the sooner they can operate. |

Nice one, OFITG, glad you plan to see the doc sooner than early Sept, will mean a lot less worrying for you to know what's wrong and get it sorted out. |
