Struggling - I keep losing family members to cancer and I'm worried I'll be next after my diagnosis

Cancer sucks I seem to be loosing family one by one to cancer with horrific experiences. It’s an awful thing to say but I just can’t help feeling that my diagnosis will be next and it’s totally irrational because I’m perfectly fit . Does anyone know how that feels

    I haven't lost anyone in my family to it yet but over the last few years half the adults in my family have had a cancer diagnosis followed by treatment and it makes you aware of every little change in your body.

    Condolences too. I'm sorry. Cancer is awful.
