I occasionally suffer from screenaphobia, the fear ahead of my periodic cancer screens that they will show a recurrence.
Just curious to see if anyone has a term to label their particular fears. I occasionally get a swollen lymph node from allergies or cough up some mucus. Painful wait time for things to clear up. It's taken cancer to make me a hypochondriac.
