I Don't Know Why I'm Scared of Cancer

Other than it being a horrible and unfair disease, I really don't know why cancer is my biggest fear.  Statistically, I have no family history of cancer.  Which I think is pretty remarkable in this day and age.  I find it odd that I am so afraid of getting cancer even knowing lack of family history makes the statistics a little more in my favor.  Yet recognizing that it is an odd fear makes me feel a little better - although no less fearful.
