Hello Chippy, 

Welcome to Cancer Chat. You've done the right thing in getting this checked out by the doctor and I hope you won't have to wait too long now to be seen by a specialist. Poor you having to deal with this and all the other conditions you describe and as you say stress doesn't help. Try not to panic and not to anticipate what it might be. The best thing to do while waiting to be seen is to keep busy and distracted and avoid looking things up online. 

I hope you will hear from others here who have been in a similar position before and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you. 

I hope everything turns out to be fine and that you get some answers very soon.

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator
