Bump.
I appreciate this pal. It can be hard, but definitely positive thoughts are the most important aspect of suffering with health anxiety, or any kind of anxiety.

Needless worry is squandering time....
Positive thoughts
When my HA flares up, the way I pull myself up is to count my blessings. I realize at age 53 I will never be the type of person who can just toss off my worries as no big deal. It just isn't going to happen, I am a worrier. But what I can do is count my blessings - I can look at my life and see all the good in it, even though I've gone through some terrible tragedies I have also experienced great love and happiness. I was lucky enough to give birth to and raise two wonderful sons, have had a satisfying career, and while my first marriage wasn't all that I dreamed it would be when I said, "I do", I learned from it and the mistakes I made.
Going through the list of things that have been good in my life sort of levels me and allows me to think, well, if this particular cancer worry turns out to be the "real thing", then at least I've had a good run.
I realize for others that might sound fatalistic and morbid, but it works for me. It might not be what you were looking for when you started this thread, but I thought I'd throw it out there - perhaps other people with HA can relate in some way. I'm a realist by nature, and this is my way of coping in a positive way.
