Sorry for the article spam today, another good article I found about fear of cancer (my main HA trigger). I plan to read and re-read this when I'm getting irrational!

Thank you I'm currently worried about throat cancer and it scares me terribly.

Also this article, which was written by a doctor in 1955!!!

The cancer phobia has apparently been in society's brain a very very long time. No wonder it's so easy to be paralyzed by it!
