  • Hi Kate032210,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand your worries, particularly with what you mention about your mum, and I know it's never easy dealing with this kind of uncertainty. However you certainly won't be wasting a doctor's time, and they would always prefer people made appointments to discuss concerns.

    Do make an appointment if you haven't already, as the doctor will be best placed to advise, or at least to offer reassurance.

    Wishing you all the best,
