I’m so scared...breast clinic appointment today

So I have my breast clinic appointment today, and I've been spending the last 2 and a half weeks convincing myself that I'm gonna be fine, but now, on the day, I feel so absolutely terrified and sick to my stomach thinking the worst! 
I don't have any friends I can talk to, and the only person who really knows is my mum, but I haven't spoken to her as that much about it, because, well, I had convinced myself I'm going to be fine and didn't want her to start worrying! 
i have always been the one to keep a brave face and never ask for help, but my god, I feel like I'm about to have a breakdown..

I don't know why I felt the need to post this, I guess it just feels good to vent...?

    Hi Emmy, 

    I saw your post and felt I needed to reassure you. 
    Firstly it's great you are looking after yourself and seeking the right help and being brave... you're not alone, you can do this. 
    I went through breast cancer myself and like you I'm the take charge organised one in my family. You will be amazed how family rally around and they're the ones to keep you fighting. 
    I truly hope it all goes well for you today and if you ever need a chat about anything, I am here for you xx

    Here if you need someone to mssg or vent to today and anytime. I know what you mean about being calm and then panicking - my appt is on 14th, & nearer it gets the more anxious and worried I am. I can imagine how you are feeling today, but at least this awful waiting period will be over. Let me know how you get on, sending hugs and strength xx

    Hi KateB38, I saw GP Mon 30th & she referred, I received a text later the same day with a link which took me to a letter with my appointment for Mon 14th Dec. I have since then had letter / form through the post to take on Mon. Everywhere is different I think, but you should be seen within 2 weeks xx
