    Only doctors know what's normal for the inside of your throat. Chances are it's just a bit of infection left over from your cold.

    In the meantime, work on your coping strategies - you don't need to leap down the rabbit hole.

    ...You know what I was just telling you about not jumping down the rabbit hole?

    I was strong this weekend (no googling Lyme disease fatalities!), and you can be strong too.

    You're stronger than me BI. I'm going to ring the docs.

    Try to stay rational, okay? It'll save you being dismissed as a hypochondriac later.

    They had no appointments available today and the only slot available for pre-booking was the 24th. I'm going to need to ring up again tomorrow. I really can't sit with this, here I am worrying about diabetes and there's worse in the form of mouth cancer on my tonsil.

    You don't have oral cancer, you have a severe anxiety disorder.

    Tell me about some of the strategies you learned in therapy?

    Looking at statistics. The chances of someone my age having mouth cancer is 0.0003%, but someones gotta make up that figure right? I don't smoke (well only a tiny bit in college) and rarely drink alcohol, so those are positive.

    Looking at the past. How many times have I been wrong? Worried about something that didn't come true?

    0.0003% is three in a million, Mr. L, and your odds are considerably less than that given that you barely drink and only smoked a tiny bit.

    You must know by now that you have a tendency to catastrophise, too.

    Yes I know I catastrophise, and not just in terms of health worries.

    I'm sure FMP will be along to tell me about oral cancer, as he is a survivor. Even with those odds, I can't help but worry when the symptom is there staring me in the face.
