Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Nice. The first step towards cure is the understanding of your condition. Such apprehension and anxiety is found in almost all cancer patients and that generality should calm you down. That is normal and there is nothing to worry about. Who wants to be in an emergency room or wants to be a subject for chemo? But you should calm down after some time. I request you to consult a psychologist for Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
