Hello and welcome to the community MrsNat76.

I know it can be scary when you find out you've been urgently referred for further investigation but as you'll see on our website, 9 out of 10 people who are referred this way are not diagnosed with cancer.

I know this won't take the worry away as it's only natural to be concerned but I hope it helps to steady your nerves until your appointment comes through.

Hopefully some of our members who have been referred with similar symptoms will be along soon to share their experiences and advice but in the meantime do try and resist googling as it will only make your fears and worries worse.

We're sending our support your way MrsNat76 and will have our fingers crossed for good news.

All the best,

Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
