    Hello Ng15, 

    I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing these symptoms and it's important that these issues are being investigated. I just wanted to wish you the best of luck for your scan next Thursday. I know it's really hard but try not to worry too much or anticipate the worst and it won't be too long now until you get some definite answers. Waiting for test results is not easy and it can be quite an anxious time for you as many members of our community will know only too well and I thought I would share with you these helpful tips to help you cope while waiting for important news. 

    Keeping everything crossed for you for Thursday. I hope it all goes well and that it turns out to be nothing of concern. 

    Best wishes,
