1st appointment with haematology tomorrow. Feeling scared

Hi I've never posted anything on here before. In abit nervous as I've got my first haematology appointment tomorrow after seeing the doctor on monday(I don't know if it being this quick is a good or bad thing). I have  had several blood tests which have come back with my white blood cell count getting lower, night sweats and a small pea size lump behind my ear. The doctor explained that these symptoms added together was a red flag for leukaemia or lymphoma. I keep telling myself to be positive but to be honest im a little bit scared. Or Could i be worrying about nothing

    I noticed you were due to see the Haematologist this morning and wanted to post to ask how you got on at your appointment. I hope that they were able to give you some answers and reassurance about things. 

    If there was anything you wanted to talk through with one of our nurses you're welcome to give them a call. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040.
