[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m generally not anxious- I manage a high stress job and household just fine. But I have terrible medical anxiety. Chest pain means I think I’m having a heart attack (and I’ve been to the cardiologist and my heart is fine). Back pain and heartburn- is it pancreatic cancer?  Kid scraped their knee at the gym and I make her put soap and water on it immediately so she doesn’t get sepsis. 
I don’t want to medicate myself when I’m fine in the rest of my life. But…am I alone in this or is this kind of thing common?[/quote]

This is me right now!  constant googling and focusing  on worst possible situation. However I have past history of cancer so I think I am doomed .. [/quote]

I was just thinking about this as someone who has a history also. Once you have cancer you will never again not have medical anxiety. Not just bc of your existing history but bc you know that it ‘can’ happen to you [/quote]

Another cancer survivor who doesn’t have medical anxiety. Never did, still don’t after diagnosis and treatment. [/quote]
