Doctors

I'm not afraid of doctors for reasons like "I don't want to become autistic because of shots" or "I'm afraid of needles and surgery" or anything like that.
I'm afraid that a doctor will find something deadly and I won't have much time left.

As I said before, I'm not afraid of the action of dying. I'm afraid of the times surrounding the action of dying.

My uncle died in a gas station bathroom because of a heart attack.
My aunt died because of two types of cancer.
My mother had breast cancer.
I have a bone tumor.
There's some health problems in my family.
I don't want to get bad news that "you have deadly cancer" or have to go through what my mother went through with her breast cancer.
I don't want to be told that I could have an elevated risk of having a heart attack.
I don't want anything like that.
I just want to be healthy and alive for as long as possible.
Is that too much to ask for?
