  • Hi Rc2021,

    You've done the right thing in making an appointment with your GP - they will always be best placed to advise if you have concerns about any symptoms. Try to keep busy prior to your appointment to take your mind off any worries, and hopefully you'll be able to get some reassurance when you see the doctor.

    Wishing you all the best,
