What are your thoughts

When my mother was diagnosed with CC we were told by the oncologists that this disease is hereditary. I have been having off and on pain in my upper right side, feels like its under my rib cage. It comes and goes, never severe but just reminding that something doesn’t feel right.

I am hesitant to go to the doctor only because we’ve had our fair share of run-a-rounds. My mother was told several times that the pain she felt was made up and she was crazy. A CT scan was never done until it was too late and revealed the multiple masses on her liver.

I have been to the doctor about 5 times in the past year and a half due to constant sore throat and swollen lympnodes. The doctor told me that I was depressed about my mother and thats why I was noticing it more. Come to find out, I needed a root canal. Seems silly but I was so upset by the doctors remarks. He had no clue.

My question is, should I ignore this pain? Am I maybe overreacting thinking it could be in relation to CC? How do I approach a doctor about this without thinking I’m crazy or just paranoid. I don’t feel like I am, but because I have a 2 1/2 year old daughter who needs me, I feel like I owe it to her to get it checked out. Just not sure who to see or where to start.

Thank you for your help and wonderful advice once again. Y’all are always there to count on and pull me through. This Sunday would have been mom’s 48th birthday…glad her birthday and mothers day is all is one day! Let the celebration begin!
