Constantly worrying about cancer

I just wanted to ask if anyone else has had this experience and how they are dealing with it? I am an ex- heavy smoker, stopped in 2011 when I was about 32. It took me years to stop and so many failed attempts and I was so proud of myself when I finally managed it. I went on to have two beautiful wonderful children who are still pre-school age.
Now as I am approaching 40, I constantly worry about developing lung cancer. I know I've stopped smoking, but I worry about all the years of smoking in the past and how much I have increased my risk.

Does anyone have any advice on this? Does anyone else feel like this? How do you cope?

The main thing is you have stopped now, which is fantastic, wish my DH would stop. Nothing can change your past , some cancers you may have an increased risk but you are healthy now, enjoy your time now, be proud of yourself for quitting. X
