New and in a fit

[ben74]

My name is Ben and come from Fargo ND, USA. I have alot of anxiety about cancer and whenever I find something odd, it seems to invade my every thought. I pick, I worry and I cannot take my mind off of it. Currently, I have a lump in my mouth (on my gum) that worries the heck out of my and am sure I will obsess about this until my appointment in 2 weeks to see my dentist. I posted my other symptoms in the symptoms forum if anyone is interested, but it is a pleasure to meet everyone.

Hi ben and welcome to NMP,
Don't worry about having a Cancer anx. I'm sure we all worry about it to some extent, just remember that most Cancers can now be cured or kept under control if caught early enough.

Hi Ben,

I totally relate to your cancer anx. I too on hearing about cancers be it someone I know/knew or a character in a film, start checking for lumps and misinterpreting symptoms. This is "normal" anxiety behaviour.
