  • Hello Deenrob,

    I understand your worried, but hopefully you'll know more at the next appointments. When youre worried about cancer, it can be tempting to think the worst and look for answers, but this can end up increasing anxiety rather than making you feel better. You can read more about the referal process here, which I hope will be useful. It might help to write down any questions you have on a notepad to take with you to the next appointment, so you know all your concerns will be covered.

    I hope this helps and all the best to you and your husband,
