Scared of cancer
Had congested nose. ENT put up scope and said its nasal polyp. Asked me to go for CT scan.
I know CT scan is used to assess the extend of the disease.
Yet, I am scared that it will show cancer :(.
I want to go for it but its been a week since I cannot gather courage for the CT scan. I am such a coward :(.
I actually read it in google that unilateral nasal polyps are uncommon and hence i am even more scared :(.
Please guide me in this situation. I want to cry so badly.

I understand your fear , especially in this new world when we a living in the middle of cancer causing agents BUT
the Best way to face the fear is head on
So go to the CT SCAN
anyway CT scan is not going to harm you
And 90% of the time , a polyp is just a polyp.
You are not a coward to feel worried about your health, but you will remain a fool if u let that fear keep you from getting your illness treated
