Carcinophobia, emetophobia, help.

[maddie-_-]

I have reently really got this carcinophobia, phobia of cancer. Of course no one wants cancer, but the thought of it can send me into a panic attack just like that. Its awful, I consta tly check my body, and its getting to the point i dont want near technology incase it is cancer giving like paranoid adults always say. Im terrified, i think it orriginialy had something to do with emetophobia (fear of vom...dont want to say the rest of the word lol) so like chemo petrifies me, 100% The thought of it is making me all hot.
but just the whole this is worsening by the day and no one seems to get how bad it is getting, i gues because i only mentioned it recently but its been going on for a while
Ideas/tips/how can i avoid cancer/what are my chances/comfor? lol
sorry
I know im kinda...wierd

I have the exact same thing....The other day in physics class teacher was talking about brain Ca**** and I had a massive panic attack......My friends didn't understand why I reacted like that!

Best way to avoid ca***? In all honesty, exercise helps but ca**** being so broad it might not help in some cases.

I would just say, it's about putting illness of any kind into perspective of your own context. Really, at the present DO YOU exert the symptoms ca**** has, without stress?

Good advice Joe!

Reducing any risk of any illness means :

Being reasonably active (you don't need to run a marathon, walking regular is just fine)

Diet (a little of what you like does you good, but make sure you have a balance of the good stuff)

Smoking (don't start, quit if you can, reduce the amount if you can't)

Reduce Stress (ironically worrying less about being ill, significantly reduces your risk )

Be Happy and have fun! (We are all working on it) :)
