I'm really paranoid! please help?

Question

Lately, I've been really paranoid about the cancer disease probably because I've heard so much about it in the past months - shows, articles, etc. I can't help but feeling my lower legs ALL THE TIME. It's driving me nuts!!! I wanna stop because a huge part of it is only psychological and not real but I keep feeling these lumps (that could be just part of my legs) and then I think "what's that?!" and I start to panic about what I did wrong or is it because I was thinking about it all the time that I've eventually brought it on me. Please help me if you can!

Answer 1

anybody in the family died of cancer? if none, don't worry you are most likely not a candidate to cancer. Cancer is usually caused by some predisposing cells in the body susceptible to that disease

Answer 2

Go and get it checked to be sure

Oh and its kinda like... ever seen horror movies, or stuff liek aliens... jurassic park... isn't it hilarious how our minds think... i mean if a dino or alien wud attack us... why would it be only! directly after we saw the movie? so thats what you're going thru

not paranoia really..maybe slightly.. but yes please check...

Answer 3

Limit your leg feeling to when you are in the shower or bath. If the lumps you find don't change then all is well. If there is a HUGE change then see the doctor.

What you are telling yourself when you think about is a huge reason that you feel this way. When you try telling yourself that it would be a reach to think you have cancer you will find that it gets funny and you can laugh at yourself.  Think this instead........This has as much chance of being cancer as I have of winning the lottery. And even if it is cancer ........then I will deal with it but I am not borrowing trouble at this point.

Answer 4

Just go and see a doctor to be really sure
