  • Hi Joewa,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you have got this checked out - I appreciate it must be difficult at the moment while you are waiting for answers, and I hope you're getting on OK.

    It's difficult to advise on this further, but of course it's not too long now to wait until your appointment, so you should find out more soon and I hope it all goes OK on Wednesday.

    Hopefully others will see your post soon and if anyone has similar experience then hopefully you'll get some more replies.

    Wishing you all the best,
