A Danvers Mass woman Emma Fech died believing she had cancer though post mortem showed none. Doctors describe hypochondriasis a common condition where patients imagine diseases, often cancer heart disease or Bright's disease. Reports include a stubborn patient who starved herself and a New York Hospital case of a man who believed a worm gnawed his lip, cured by removing the worm. Treatments focus on general health, light activity, open air, and psychological relief rather than aggressive medical intervention.
