H. Pylo--- whaaa?

On my facebook for the past 3 days I've been bitching about heartburn. A friend of my mother's wrote to me that I may have helicobacter pylori. Which is some fancy word for a bacteria that is attacking the lining of my stomach. She told me that my mom complained of heartburn and she told her to get tested and sure enough my mom had it.....
I go to the website the friend showed me and it says that if you are positiveit could also be a sign of stomach cancer... oh fucking great. So now I'm convinced I'm dying. I'm going to get tested and it's going to be positive and I'll be dead soon. Just like my Mom. This also doesn't help that I have a purplish mole on my leg that has grown a bit and it's funky shaped and part is under the skin and part is over the skin and I'm pretty sure that's cancer too. I've been ignoring it but finally made an appointment so if the stomach cancer doesn't kill me I'm pretty sure the skin cancer will.

Have you heard anything back yet? If not, when do you get your results?

It was negative... so I'm back to square one. Luckily the symptoms have subsided.
