Welcome to the forum Tiajayx although I'm sorry for the reason you're joining us.
It must be very difficult to live with this constant fear and worry of cancer but help and support are available.
If you haven't done so already, it would be a good idea to try and open up to your GP about your health anxieties, especially if it's impacting you daily.
The NHS also have some helpful information about health anxiety here or you could try the charity Anxiety UK who have a helpline where you can speak to someone who is experienced in dealing with these issues.
Quite a few of our members know how stressful and debilitating living with health anxiety can be so you are not alone, and I'm sure you will receive some support and advice from them soon.
We're thinking of you Tiajayx and hope you are able to get the help you need to deal with your anxiety.
Kind regards,
Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
