Anybody else terrified of getting cancer?

Issue
Seems sometimes I am scared of getting it, and think about it alot. Anybody else that way?

Best Tip

i had cancer and i was terrified, but you can't think about it like that, you just have to live! trust in God and know your life is already planned out, worrying about it will only give you ulcers! :)

yes, but mine is of dying, and you need to stop thinking like that, and so do I
yeah i am, but i am more afraid of getting burned to death....i know that was random
get it off your mind, lots of cancers are curable, just keep a good watch on your body and any time you notice anything out of phase see a doctor. i had cancer 20 years ago, im still here.
It freaks me out. A lot.
Terrified, that's an understatement....i am scared , not of dying but just having it...i work in an oncology unit and i know the sufferring ...i feel it , i see it....
At most times, I try to block the thoughts of cancer out of my mind. Yes, I worry about it and I know people who have died of it. All we can do is stay aware and be checked by a doctor quickly, if we suspect we have any unusual problems. The worst thing would be to be told you have cancer and can't be helped. That is not the type of news that I ever want to hear, believe me.
