Nothing: I can't say that there's anything wrong with you.It's not uncommon for people to fixate on what might occur, such as heart disease, loss of a loved one, or cancer.Unless you have a massive family history, there's no reason for you to fear developing cancer.You may need counseling.No shame in that.My best advice is to enjoy your life, and take what comes. Live well, eat right, have fun. Good luck.
