  • Hello Kenlie and welcome to Cancer Chat,

    I see from your post that you're worried about these symptoms you have. As you're going to see the doctor soon, a good thing to do could be to prepare any questions or concerns you might have and write them down on paper so you can take them with you on Wednesday. This will help ensure you leave the appointment feeling heard and have an understanding of the next steps.

    I hope this helps and all the best for Wednesday,
