Look. I Know How You Feel. I Just Looked At It Like This. "IF" It's Cancer ? It's Already There. What Good Will Panic & Anxiety Do If I Was ? NOTHING. "IF" Not ? Good. Go To The Doc & Ease Your Fears & Worries. Me ? If It Is ? Let's Get In There & Get It Out. [ Remember Early Detection Is Everything ] If It's Not ? GOOD. Ease Your Mind. Go To The Doc.

I have this fear over and over, it doesn't help that I worked on behalf on Cancer research and spent 6 days a week talking about cancer, ironically I quit on the spot when my team member said her mums friend had just died of a heart attack at work from stress, I literally text my boss saying I quit there and then.200 mile's from home with team members that I was training and leading. My dad had died of a heart attack about 5 months previously, the cancer obsession was bad enough then the heart issue toppled me over the edge. I don't even know what to say to make you feel better, I just know how you feel if that helps

I think that's what makes this site so good, knowing that it's not just us, trying to explain anxiety to someone that's never experienced it is frustrating, I think I have learnt more on here in 24 hours about my symptoms than ever before, hope your ok by the way
