AM I GOING MAD STARTING TO THINK I HAVE CANCER EVERYWHERE!

Less than one minute read time.

God I dont know where to start, has never been cancer in the family and then suddenly 2 members in 2 weeks on bowel and one jawbone both requiring operations and chemo/RT.  4 weeks into this nightmare and I keep thinking oh my god do I have cancer breast, bowel, mouth, I brushed my teeth so much I made them bleed, I look up the least little thing on google and read stuff into it.  Has anyone else experienced these feelings.

    Well this is a good way to wake up the kezzerbird girl....Are you going to start wasting your life on worrying that you might get cancer one day? I lost my dad, eldest brother and eldest sister to cancer and yep I have it BUT my 3 remaining brothers and my remaining sister DON'T. So my advice to you love is stop worrying and enjoy life and don't go looking for problems that are not there, some things you can read on the net especially medical sites can blow all things out of proportion....Carol x

    Hi Poppy,

    So you are sitting on your Bum waiting for Cancer to strike what a Happy way to look at life. I Hope you are able to sleep at night with all this worry.

    Kezzer this is something we have in common that I didnt know about . But I lost my Dad and elder Sister and Brother to Cancer and now I have the Bloody thing. I wonder if my other,3 Brothers and 6 Sisters are siting around taking Bets on who is going to be next. They all thought with the exception of 2 of my sisters I should have died yrs ago. Sorry to disapoint them.

    But Poppy life to short sitting worrying yourself. So

    lets stop all the guess work and live your life to the full.

    Take care and be safe Big Hugs Love Sarsfield.xxx

    Dear Poppy, thank god you woke kezzerbird up - hope  you take note as she's in her sickbed right now.  Cancer scares us all and sometimes we are overwhelmed with fear - stop looking at sites - put on your glad rags and get out in the big wide world - you'll worry yourself to death,  You can spend your time worrying or spend your time jiving - I know what I prefer.  In any event, it just goes to show how cancer affects everyone not just the person with it.  Your mum wants to see you smiling, jiving, living, not worrying which is easier said than done,  You will get fed up feeling like this soon and move on - just one of the many joys of the big C.  Best wishes, chill  out, Ann xxx

    Hi _ can I just say that although i agree with everything that everyone has written it is still early days for you and I went through similar thoughts too.  Give yourself a bit of time and you will work through those thoughts and come out the other side enjoying life again - i did!! Tabitha XXX
