You're a wise man!: It's quite common for a person to have an idea that they have a particular, serious illness and not be able to get that idea out of their head -- even if they rationally know that it's wrong. Truth be told, you're far more clever than most such folks simply to recognize that this is happening to you. These thoughts can be treated like any other illness, with a good outcome expected. Ask your Dr.
