Mass in abdomen

Hi all, 

I'm hoping that I'm worrying unnecessarily, but you automatically think the worst.

I went to the doctors a week ago with bloating (or so I thought) that wouldn't ease. He checked me over and the bloating is a mass in my abdomen. I was sent for an emergency scan the following day and blood tests a couple of days later. 

I have a urgent referral appointment at the hospital this coming Tuesday and to say m scared is an understatement. The blood tests ruled out ovarian cancer, but the doctor has stressed he can't rule out other cancers. 

I'm really hoping it's a fibroid or something, but I just can't get the C word out of my head, I'm dreaming about operations going wrong, I'm just not having a Great time at the minute. It's the not knowing. And Tuesday seems like such a long way away.
