  • Hello AudioWhy and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I'm sorry to hear about these symptoms. When you’re worried that you may have cancer, it can be tempting to look for answers online or think the worst, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. And the only person that can diagnose you is your doctor. If you have questions it may help to write them down and bring them with you.

    I hope this is helpful and that your upcoming appointment goes ok,
