Have I completely lost it now

[Gemmal]

Hi everyone

I have recently saved up about 600 pounds for my once in a life time trip to New York in March .


I have had.a tremendous ridiculous fear of Hodgkin's lymphoma for 21 months now and I am considering getting a medical checkup privately




I fear I won't be here in march although I feel fine just now


I really am losing the plot !


Realistically I know that reassurance is only temporary but feel a good private check up might help me ? In saying that I should be dead by now shouldn't I?




Hope everyone's doing better than me

Hi Gemmal,

Oh my gosh! I don't know if my words will get through but I sure hope so!

One of your life dreams, a "once in a lifetime" trip to New York is within your grasp. Don't allow an illogical thought to ruin it!

IF...and that a HUGE IF you had lymphoma or any cancer, you would be very, very sick or possibly gone by now, 21 months from the first time the thought crossed your mind!

The cost of a private test would rob you of that dream and by your own words, "temporarily" relieve you of your anxiety.

New York City is one of the coolest places in the US. The food, entertainment (Broadway for one), culture, night life, live music and so many other attractions are part of the essence of American City Life and it will be worth every penny spent.

Hear me... don't let HA stop you from living and experiencing this! Go for it! If, when you return home, you still feel the same way, save your money to get tested then!

Good Luck!

5th Avenue is calling you, not a medical center. Take your mind off things read up on the Big Apple and Manhattan, Go to the states its great, you never know you may come back with a new outlook on life for the better.
