Glandular fever EBV related cancers. Very scared

Hello, i had glandular fever as a child at 12 years old, im now 24 and have learnt that ebv can cause cancer. Im absolutely petrified.

Is there anyone that can reassure me that this is rare? Ive even had to visit the doctor about the debilitating anxiety this has caused me , i already had health anxiety now i basically feel like somebodys told me im going to get cancer for sure. 
ive looked at the statistics and it says 1% of all cancers are down to ebv. I coukd really do with some reassurance. I know some people have live with ebv in their body for 40 years and are fine. Im just absolutely in bits. Please offer me some kind positive words if you can. Itd mean the world. 
thank you
