You're definitely not alone. I am 24 and lost my grandad to bile duct cancer. He was diagnosed January 2019 and passed away last month. It completely changed my outlook on things and made me very paranoid that I was going to be diagnosed with a terminal condition any day, and I would leave my family & partner behind.. and I would google/scrutinise over the smallest things and convince myself I had terminal conditions.

You are not alone and I understand your worries, especially with young children. I myself am trying to get over this fear so whilst I don't have any advice on how to do it, you're not alone and I'm glad I'm not either.

Thank you.  It's good to know you're not alone.  I have other health issues anyway including an underactive thyroid, hiatus hernia and gastritis.  I also had a hysterectomy when I was 35.  So in some respects it makes me worry more.  

I know a lot of it's in my head and I need will-power not to Google but I find it really hard.  I am thinking of speaking to the GP  about this anxiety but not sure of the reaction I'd get!

Hello,

Do you have cancer? Health anxiety is terrible and I Google alot as I have cancer. Its terrifying! 

I have an under active thyroid too! And I decided to go to the doctor when I couldn't sleep for worrying I was going to die, and the doctor I had was really supportive and prescribed me propanarol to help with the anxiety (which has worked but it's hard to shake the thoughts)

I hope talking about it with people who understand makes you feel better, it's easy to say to someone to try and stop worrying but it's easier said than done <3 x

No I don't, but I had a scare with my Liver in May last year.  I knew I had a hemangioma but was told it had grown to 5cm from 4mm and so an urgent referral was made.  It turns out I have cysts and hemangiomas on my liver but they are fine.  Those few weeks really freaked me out and I can't get it out of my head.

I am sorry to hear you have been diagnosed.  Have you a support group that you can talk to?  Google is not the best place to look,  as you say it's terrifying!  

Talking about my anxiety is helping.  I think I will make an appointment as I  do not want to continue feeling like this.

Thank you for the support xx
