Hi, I fortunately had no cancer until now, but I´m always living with the fear of getting it.
I have a long history of abdominal problems and stayed several times at (childrens) hospital in my teenaged time, when I was 16 yrs. old, I was examined also by an oncologist (Specialist for cancer in children!) there, what was a bad and long exam, because they wanted to clear me totally up for cancer, too! He found out my intestinal cyst then, which was taken out in a bigger surgery then.
In my youth time, I was also diagnosed with dysplastic nevi syndrome, because I have hundreds of ugly looking and dysplastic nevi and moles all around my whole body, so that I had to go for regular mole checks to dermatologists since my early teenaged time (which I hated all!). I remember one dermatologist saying to my mom, "it would be no question if, but only when" I would get skin cancer and melanoma!!! Later, when I was 20 and at least by starting my education, doctors said moles would look cancerous and like melanoma, so I had to go for surgery of them, but all came back as "precancerous" or "severe dysplastic" lesions, but my fear of cancer is still very present!
