But you FEEL healthy, right?
I know it's not as simple as it sounds, I have extreme anxiety too and things people tell me often do not register, but you should only worry about being sick if you actually were sick.
Odds are, you're not sick. In fact, odds are probably overwelmingly in favor of your good health.
If you ever go to hospital and see REALLY sick people, lying in hospital beds, wondering their fate, remember that THOSE people are sick, and they would do anything to be in your shoes. They would sell their souls to trade their serious illnesses for your little lump. You're lucky, trust me. Just try to put it in perspective. Not saying you're whining or anything, you're not, I understand anxiety and irrational fears, just trying to get you to look at things a little differently.
I was going to end this post with a "good luck" but only sick people need "good luck." ;P You're fine, you should take your pdocs advice and try to read something or perhaps think or whatever that will make you look at things a little more positively.
