Eve,
It's ALL to easy to be a hypochondriac when you are in the medical business (we know enough to be dangerous ;-) Besides that, OC only affects a relatively small number of people compared to the "big 4" (breast, lung, colorectal and skin cancers).

In earlier times a person with your health profile would have a low risk for OC but with the advent of HPV the game has changed and much younger people are showing up here than when I first joined.

I remember being stunned when a 28 year old showed up with a stage I tumor and subsequently died. Most of the early newbies were in their mid 50's.
