Fear of CA: You sound just like my son. He feels just like you. You will need to research a local doc who can see you when you need to check anything abnormal out...part of our job as docs is to take care of all of you. On the statistics side cancer at your age is very rare. Use the web to look up your symptoms and reassure yourself. You are welcome to join my virtual practice as well.
