No one wants to die premeturely, but I think you are more concerned about dying, and dying painfully. Be assured, there are very powerful painkillers that can help in pallitive care.(that's care of the dying). Being afraid of dying is not the same as being afraid of Death. Lingering in a painful illness as your body degenerates is not the same as being hit by a bus. Once you're dead, you're not around to be bothered by the thought of it. If you are terminally ill, death is a perpetual shadow, a constant presence, an unwelcome guest.
To understand life, everyone has to understand it is finite. All your actions, possibilities, opportunities are all limited and nested within a finite existance. Anyone who tries to ignore this fact is engaged in a futile pursit to escape the inescapable. That is why you should make the most of life and health while you can. Make your life a good one in the time you've got. I remember someone telling me once 'It's not a rehearsal, this is it.'
Keep yourself in the moment. That means not worrying about yesterday or tommorrow, focus on living each day for it's own sake. You can't change the past, and you can't see into the future, so don't think about what illnesses may or may not afflicit you, just try to live as healthily as you can without torturing yourself, oh and chocolate is good for you. Rejoice in small pleasures.
So many people sleepwalk in their lives, doing the things they feel they ought to be doing, instead of what's important. Look at the number of people who spend endless hours at work! Why? If they died tomorrow, the company would soon find a replacement. They should be spending time with the people that would miss them if they were gone. Sometimes it takes a jolt like 'you've only got a few months to live' that makes them wake up and ditch the job, take a holiday and spend time with those they love. Don't waste time, do it now! Live!

There is a disorder callead health anxiety disorder, and it sounds like you may have it. It is terrible and takes over your life. With appropriate screening and early detection many of these cancers can be treated and cured. It is not the death sentence that it used to be, and remember we usually only hear about the horror stories and not the survival stories. Six members of my family have had cancer and only one died. The remaining five have gone on to lead healthy and productive lives. I take what you say really seriously and think that you may benefit from some counselling/therapy to try and establish where your fears stem from and how you can stop worring and start living. Good luck.

Cancer scares me more than any other illness but you can't worry about dying the whole of your life otherwise you could end up missing the precious little time you are given to enjoy your self while your alive.Stop being stupid and start enjoying your self while you still can,you could get hit by a bus tomorrow and would all your worrying have been worth it then?

I do have a fear of dying that I'm trying to deal with. There are so many thinks associated with causing cancer that I try not to think about it. Just eat your 5 a day, then at least you know your doing something to prevent cancer.
I hope you feel better soon. The best thing would be to come to terms with your fear-and I know how hard that is.

Most people who get cancer recover from it. Catching it early can give someone every chance of survival and many cancers are so treatable now, that the fatality rate is extremely low. But, it is always wise to check for lumps whatever gender you are. And if you ever find something, don't freak-out as a lot of lumps are benign.

Not really.
Cancer is in my family. Cancer in most cases, is curable if found early enough - depending on the type.
If I get it, I get it. If I don't, I don't.
You need to stop worrying about something that may never happen and move on with life.
You have a higher chance of getting struck by lightening than getting cancer.

agree with first answer! LOL
really, I don't like the idea of dying of cancer, especially as I have nursed so many through it, and know how awful it can be! But there really is no point worrying, as it might not ever happen to you anyway

Of course- most people are scared of developing cancer and dying in pain..
But you can't let it rule your life.. What's the point of living if you spend all your time worrying about dying?
If you think about this all the time and worry about it- I would recommend seeing your GP, tell him/her about your worrys and ask about help with anxiety and obsessive thoughts.

If you have cancer and you're dying, they usually pump you up with all sorts of delicious painkillers, so you don't feel...anything.
And then you die.
Everyone dies, whether it be from cancer, a rock thrown off of a highway overpass, or a meteor....we'll all die, eventually.
