A little.

Your user name makes me slightly afraid and slightly curious, which is an exciting combination ;0)<br /><br />I just went through the thyroid cancer scare myself and did the exact same thing you did! I thought, "Well, of all the cancers I could have, that one sounds pretty good."

I used to be a horrible worry-wort. I inherited it from my grandma. Through a lot of introspection, I found how bad it was for me and slowly, over time, I have learned to do it less and less, mostly by attending the school of hard knocks, which sucks a lot, but is quite an effective teacher.Hiyacynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648329765845940034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-77220090722064476792012-05-14T11:44:32.730-04:002012-05-14T11:44:32.730-04:00It seems to be one of THE hardest things to do, do...It seems to be one of THE hardest things to do, doesn't it?Beckeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655479298425387161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-80899619038390037562012-05-14T11:43:54.725-04:002012-05-14T11:43:54.725-04:00Philippians 4:6 and Matthew 6:34.

It's one thing to focus on things you can affect - like being vigilant about your health and getting needed tests. But it's not productive to just worry about things that may or may not happen.Beckeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06655479298425387161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-9940304326527887262012-05-13T15:05:12.477-04:002012-05-13T15:05:12.477-04:00So true (though hard to do sometimes) about not wo...So true (though hard to do sometimes) about not worrying and just trying to fix or prevent the things we worry about.a.eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468719598280416330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-17102965428706534012012-05-12T00:14:10.711-04:002012-05-12T00:14:10.711-04:00I try so very hard not to be a worrier but gosh it...I try so very hard not to be a worrier but gosh it's tough, I am one of those people that thinks of several scenario's as to not be caught off guard and while doing that worry will set in and BLAM I am ran over with it. I read alot of positive quotes, scriptures, and the husband is a "don't sweat the small stuff guy" So yep I do some trusting in God also to help me not be over ran with WORRY.Plant Seeds of Happinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10070195737004917932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101228274541669798.post-6175447543064166092012-05-11T16:32:17.544-04:002012-05-11T16:32:17.544-04:00Everyday Underwear?

Hahaha...love it! <br /><br />I am not a worrier by nature, although I occasionally worry over a particular event or situation. I'm more of those UNDERworry types, someone who downplays even a big situation. When my doctor told me I might have thyroid cancer I looked it up...there was so much info, much of it good...that I thought "eh, my chances of it not being bad are really really good"...so, there was some worry, but not tons. I still worry, a little - in the back of my mind - about it returning or going to my lungs/bone (where it often spreads with my type of cancer), but it is the sort of worry that merely keeps me vigilant about changes in my health and it keeps me going back for blood tests, etc. I think there is some worry that is healthy and can be constructive, then there is the worry that overtakes you and becomes obsessive...that isn't so healthy.alienbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553792913801374123noreply@blogger.com
