Hello Alice, you need to take a deep breath and think thru this with the brain on your shoulders and not with a mind full of fear dear!.
1!. just because your Mother died of cancer, doesn't mean you will, but it is something yo can watch out for and let your PA know about when testing you each year!.
2!. We are all going to die, and I for one, I'm 60 in a month now and starting to feel the pains on a day to day bases, so I know ret!. will be soon and then I want to have as many years with my wife as I can!. So I'm planing to live a long life!. I'm loosing weight, I was 275, and down to 236, and going for 199! I can change my health and so can you dear, so just dig in and work on it, and if you believe in pray, then add me and you to this of things for God or his Son, to work on too!

GET OUT MORE!!! It sounds like you are seriously depressed!. You need to probably talk to your doctor about this!. And it sounds like you don't have much of a life outside of your family!. That can't be healthy for your mindset!. You need to have friends, and do things with adults, and get out once in a while!. And not to the store, or kids appointments, etc!. etc!. You need to do more for YOU!! That might help you feel better!. And just because your mother had cancer doesn't mean you or your sister will!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I think you are correct about the reason you feel gloom and doom being your mom dieing at age 58!.
That is pretty young!. It makes sense that you worry about getting cancer!. I am lucky my mom and dad are both cancer survivers and are still living!. I hope you are having colonoscopy screenings every so often to prevent a late diagnosis of colon cancer!.
Think of ways you can begin to enjoy your life more!.
Take up a new hobby!. Join a woman's group!. Go out with the friends you have more often!. Good Luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Work thru your thoughts and accept that you can't control what you can't control!. You already are living a healthy lifestyle!. That's the best you can do!.
If it helps, my mom went thru the same thing when her brother died of cancer!. Then again when her second brother died of cancer!. When her sister died of cancer, she didn't!. By then she had accepted that either she'd get it or not, but basically believed for many years she wouldn't live much beyond 50 because no one in her family had!. She lived a healthy lifestyle in hopes, but tended to live more in the present!. She's now 78, is well, and will probably kick the bucket of something else!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
