My main fear is cancer especially breast cancer. You hear all the time if people getting it. I get constant worries that if I wat certain food or do things it’ll cause cancer. I don’t know what to eat I’m afraid whether i eat bad or good it’ll cause it. I’m really terrified of it there is no way to prevent it I’m 30 and I hear people who are young getting it. I have magical thinking ocd and I worry if I do things my mind tells me not it’ll cause cancer. I don’t know how to calm down and not worry I’m never enjoying anything I’m too worried about getting cancer. Anyone have any advice

Welcome @Rena, sorry for he delay in answering. Cancer is I think the most worried about condition and rightly so. But there is a lot we can do to prevent and to detect early. Especially for women. Check you breast once a month, preferably not during your period or ovulation. Keep this habit and then you are able to establish if something changes. Also go to smear tests once every two years to make sure that your cervic is alright.
Eating and drinking healthy can reduce the risk of cancer and reduces anxiety in some cases. Check out green tea, that’s a very good detox tea, which is suspected to prevent cancer.
Even though cancer is constantly in the media, it’s not so likely to get it and die from it. Especially with the treatments available now.
