On this issue you and me can only agree that we disagree.
Some anxiety is based on real life possibilites and often caused by someone close to you suffer an illness. Very different from this UFO like threads about rabies, brain eating amoebas and bubonic plauge; yeah there is even a thread on that one.
And yes; I did suffer rabies fear one time and I am 100% firm in saying that this is more laughable insanly riddicilous than fearing cancer and nothing in this world is going to change my mind about than. And brain eating amoebas? Here I am speechless and can only add: NO COMMENT.
Disclaimer: I am not saying that the people who fear rabies and BEA are insane, riddicilous and to be laughed at but their fear is. I was once one of them(not the amoeba of course hell no, but rabies).My fear but not me deseved to be riddiculed for that.
And to close this neverending argument: docotrs do take someone with possible cancer symptoms seriously; but they never ever take worries of brain eating nonsense seriously. Nuff said. End of discussion.
PS! I am not fearing cancer at the moment. But cancer is real, these other thing are not.
