worrying worrying - again. advice please.

yet again I am worrying myself silly - I am on track for 2 years post diagnosis BC free BUT, I keep on fretting about metasteses.

I know that my bone aches are a wretched Arimidex side effect, but in the last couple of days I have developed a horrible cough. No sore throat, no head cold, no congestion - just a deep cough. Do I ask about it ? Could it be a lung tumour ? When do these worries go away / Or don't they ?

I know someone will have inifinite wisdom here to snap me out of this. Or to tell me what to do. Or both.

thanks

    I agree with Hazel, no sense just worrying about it. Get it checked and put your mind at rest. We are all in the same boat when it comes to this issue of worrying about every little niggle. I have a friend who just passed the 10 year mark and she always says the doctors never mind checking anything out as they like her proactive approach to her health. All the best for 2014. Deanne xxx

    I have no infinite wisdom and I'm a relatively newbie to this site, however, i can understand the fears. I think we will always have it in the back of our minds, what if? If you are concerned with the cough, then it's worthwhile getting it checked out. It might be nothing to worry about and if it is, then the earliest it can be see to, all the better. Wishing you all the best, and I hope you have a happy healthy 2014.
