Can you start having cancer if you’re constantly thinking about it?
Posted on Mar 11, 2010 under cancer news and reports |Okay, here is my problem, I’m a teenage girl, but almost every day I think…What if I have cancer or some heart disorder or anything. Don’t ask why I think about it, there is no reason, it’s just I can’t stop thinking that I might have something and I’m always scared. How can I stop thinking about all of this? How to convince myself that I’m alright and it’s just my mind that’s playing jokes on me? Can I get sick of something because I think I might have it or can’t stop thinking about it?
Please help me with an advice, thank you!

No, you cannot get cancer or a heart disorder or anything else by constantly thinking that you may have that condition. You can get depressed and anxious though, and that is very unhealthy. There is a reason why you think about being sick all the time, you just don’t know what it is because the cause is buried deep inside you. You are a potential budding hypochondriac. These thoughts you have now will continue into adulthood and you’ll never be completely happy or healthy, always suspicious and afraid. You can’t enjoy and appreciate your own natural good health .You need to begin therapy now, talk to a professional and get help. This is a psychological disorder. You can beat it, but it won’t go away on it’s own. The only way to stop thinking about it is to find out why you do think about it.

I have the same problem as you It started when I was 11 or 12 started thinking I had cancer or would get it. Well when I was 31 I was diagnosed with Chondro Sarcoma ( Cancer of the Bone) in my left Femur Following a 15 hour operation I had my hip and 3/4 of my upper leg above the knee removed and an artificial hip inserted, they also moved my stomach muscle to my thigh and I had a scar from my right nipple to my left knee. Then when I was 43 I had a heart attack and had to have a stent inserted in an artery in my heart Then 2 years later I had another stent.
So while I don’t definitely know the answer I do know that I spent twenty years of my life worrying about something that I could not have prevented , So try not to worry if it happens it happens and you know it was not as scary as I had thought it would be. I have been cancer free for 22 years and I no longer worry about getting cancer, Now I worry that I will dying..
